French Anger Over Costs
France saw fresh protests against the rising cost of living and in support of young people, with turnout lower than in previous weeks. Around 7,000 people took part in 68 demonstrations outside Paris, according to the Interior Ministry. Authorities deployed 70,000 police and security personnel across the country and had carried out 847 searches at train stations in Paris and the surrounding area by 11 a.m., in an effort to prevent a repeat of the rioting and looting. The protests are intended to put pressure on the government ahead of a conference with unions and employers. Meanwhile, student unions and teachers have called a new strike for Tuesday to demand increased spending on education.
