France faces protest wave
France is preparing to deploy 70,000 police officers to confront a major wave of protests expected on Saturday, as demonstrations enter their third week. The protests are fueled by anger over the cost of living, declining public services and the state of education. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez has vowed a firm response to rioting, while authorities are preparing for the possibility that protesters may use Halloween masks to hide their identities. The demonstrations come as public debt—approaching 120% of economic output—limits the government’s ability to provide new funding. Retailers’ losses have been estimated at more than €1 billion.
