Protests in France began over education concerns but have expanded to include inflation, rising living costs, and government policies. On October 24, around 110,000 people protested in Paris, with police using tear gas and water cannons. About 70,000 police were deployed nationwide. Protesters demand more school funding, teacher appointments, better facilities, and relief from high living costs. Recent protests saw violence and restrictions on rallies. The movement echoes the 2018 Yellow Vest protests, posing challenges for President Macron's government.
