France faces protests with 2,400 arrests
During the weekend, France experienced widespread and violent protests, resulting in the arrest of approximately 2,400 people and the destruction of hundreds of shops and buildings. The demonstrations were fueled by rising living costs and the deterioration of public services, just before a government vote on the 2027 budget, which aims to reduce spending by 54 billion euros. The violence led to injuries to nearly a thousand police officers amid worsening political and economic conditions, as well as the accumulation of public debt reaching 3.6 trillion euros (119% of GDP). The government, through President Macron, called for collecting proposals to address the crisis, while officials and political leaders condemned the violence and threatened strong measures to maintain security.
