France mobilizes up to 70,000 police to curb violence at protests over living costs
France has experienced widespread unrest including looting and clashes, described as its most violent in years. President Macron blamed the violence on extremist groups and vandals, and authorities initially banned some protests but courts have since allowed demonstrations to proceed in some cities. Police have deployed in large numbers across the country to manage ongoing protests related to living costs and school funding while attempting to prevent further violence.
