France confronts cost of living protests
Protests erupted across France today, Saturday, in response to rising prices and the erosion of a model that provides minimal opportunities and social security. The demonstrations began last month in the outskirts schools of Paris and have expanded into a broad movement against inequality, insufficient public spending, and declining services. In central Paris, police presence was intensified, and tens of thousands took part in hundreds of protests, with protesters blocking streets, setting trash bins on fire, and recalling the previous Yellow Vest protests that started in 2018, which protested taxes and rising living costs.
