France's economic unrest
Thousands of protesters took to the streets in Paris and other French cities. Estimates varied: the Interior Ministry counted around 106,000 participants, while unions put the figure at 200,000, nearly half of them in the capital. The protests come amid worsening living conditions, rising energy prices, unemployment and public debt. Measures introduced by Sébastien Lecornu’s government have failed to persuade protesters, including a 5–10% cut in fuel prices. Observers warn that a prolonged crisis and declining confidence in traditional parties could broaden the protests and strengthen radical political forces, threatening political stability.
