Police officer caught fire after attack by protester. Attempted murder, Macron's minister is clear.

France experienced another tense weekend of protests, with approximately 320,000 participants, a decrease from the previous week. While most demonstrations were peaceful, violent clashes occurred in several cities, particularly Paris, where a police officer was injured by a Molotov cocktail. The government praised security measures, which included deploying 70,000 police officers and extensive equipment. Despite the calmer protests, student unions are planning blockades of schools and universities, indicating that unrest may continue. The situation raises questions about balancing the right to protest with public safety, as authorities aim to prevent violence while allowing peaceful demonstrations.
