Tear gas in Paris, burning bins in Marseille, but the anger of the youth is waning

Hundreds of thousands protested in France against living costs and social inequalities, with varying estimates of attendance. While most demonstrations were peaceful, some violence occurred, leading to arrests and clashes with police. The French president criticized those blaming foreigners for vandalism after recent protests but offered no solutions for students protesting their situation. Similar protests took place in Brussels and Italy, with some confrontations with law enforcement. Increased police presence was noted compared to the previous week, and further demonstrations are planned.
