France Sees Widespread Protests with Heavy Police Presence
Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators marched across France on the third weekend of protests, coinciding with Halloween. Clashes broke out in some areas, and police deployed tear gas. France mobilized 70,000 police officers to manage the demonstrations, with some shopkeepers barricading their businesses ahead of the events. The protests, described as youth-led, have also spread to other European countries.
