Paris closes metro stations and museums, confusion over the route of the demonstration

French student organizations, unions, and the 'Yellow Vests' plan nationwide protests, dubbed 'Act 2', against poor education and high living costs. Following violent demonstrations last week, Paris has implemented strict measures, closing 25 metro stations and major museums. The location of the main Paris demonstration remains uncertain due to police restrictions, causing confusion among protesters. Major unions oppose the last-minute changes, believing authorities aim to create disorder. Nationwide, many protests face bans or restrictions, with 70,000 police deployed to maintain order. President Macron blamed far-left movements for the unrest and announced plans to ban 'illegal' protests, but discussions with student groups yielded no resolution.
