France saw fresh demonstrations against the rising cost of living on Saturday, with fewer people taking part than in previous weeks. Organizers put the turnout at 250,000, including 75,000 in Paris, while authorities counted 146,000 participants, 46,000 of them in the capital. Previous Saturday demonstrations drew between 500,000 and 800,000 people, while Thursday’s protests were attended by between 575,000 and 1.6 million, according to differing estimates. The demonstrations were generally peaceful, with limited clashes in Paris. The protests are intended to put pressure on the government ahead of a social conference on Monday. Unions are calling for a €100 increase in the minimum wage take-home pay and are due to announce their position on the government’s response on Monday evening.
