France on Edge of Clashes
The article examines a major wave of protests in France, with around 70,000 police officers deployed and estimates of up to 800,000 demonstrators taking part. It attributes the anger to declining purchasing power, the rising cost of living, a housing crisis, and a lack of resources in schools and universities. It warns of growing vandalism and looting, and of clashes between far-right and far-left groups, noting that previous unrest caused more than €1 billion in damage and saw over 650 cars burned. The article argues that the unrest is deepening political polarization and giving the far right momentum, as France braces for a general strike on November 5 and continued protests through to the next presidential election.
