The French authorities have raised the security alert level to the highest possible, anticipating Saturday's protests. It was announced that 70,000 security personnel will be deployed across various regions, and a complete ban on demonstrations has been imposed in cities such as Lyon and Marseille. This comes alongside President Macron's warnings to handle acts of vandalism and attempts to target state institutions firmly. Since the start of the protests, 2,700 individuals have been detained, with hundreds being imprisoned. A security plan has been prepared, including the deployment of police and gendarmes, along with the use of helicopters, armored vehicles, and drones. Meanwhile, the government is calling for protests to remain peaceful and plans to redirect some demonstrations. This escalation occurs amid protests against rising living costs and deteriorating public services, which have led to the closure of museums and businesses, the imposition of curfews, and demands for wage increases and better amenities. The government, for its part, emphasizes the need to control spending to reduce borrowing costs.
