On Saturday, France experienced a widespread wave of violent protests and acts of vandalism, sparked by rising living costs, declining purchasing power, and objections to public service conditions, particularly education. Hundreds of thousands participated in demonstrations that escalated into clashes and rioting in several cities, where government buildings and shops were set on fire. Police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the protesters. Authorities recorded approximately 400 arrests, while protesters estimated the number at around 550,000. The deteriorating economic and social conditions are increasing the suffering of French families amidst ongoing economic disruptions and protests.
