Mass Protests Erupt Again in France: Over Half a Million Take to the Streets, Schools Set Ablaze
On November 5, mass demonstrations and a general strike swept across France. According to the Interior Ministry, around 575,000 people took to the streets, while unions put the figure at 1.6 million. Clashes with police broke out in Lyon, Bordeaux, and other cities, and radical demonstrators set fire to the Françoise Lycée in Tournefeuille, near Toulouse in the southwest.
Protesters are demanding higher wages and speaking out against the government’s education policy. Around 70,000 police officers and gendarmes have been deployed across the country, and more than 400 people have been detained. The Eiffel Tower is closed because of the strike. The current wave of protests is the largest since the fall and poses a serious challenge to Macron’s government ahead of the presidential election.
Similar protests have swept other European countries in recent weeks, with youth-led demonstrations reported in Denmark, Germany, and Italy.
