Crowds of protesters in Paris. Dozens of people have already been arrested.

French Minister Nunez reported 135 arrests since morning and noted a decrease in protest actions compared to the previous week. The situation in Paris was described as calm, despite initial chaos at the demonstration site. The protest was relocated from Place de la Bastille to Porte d'Italie after authorities denied permission for the original route. In Lyon, police used tear gas to disperse an unauthorized gathering, while minor arrests occurred in Nice. Following recent riots, authorities announced that only union-organized protests would be permitted in the coming days, deploying 70,000 officers nationwide for security.
