A third weekend of protests in France as youth-led rallies sweep Europe

Protests over living costs and education started in France and have now spread to Germany. Hundreds of thousands of mostly young people demonstrated across France for a third consecutive weekend, with police reporting around 70,000 participants in Paris alone. Authorities deployed roughly 70,000 police officers in response, and some clashes between police and protesters occurred. The demonstrations continued on Halloween weekend, with tens of thousands expected to participate in Germany as well.
