France is preparing for another weekend of protests against the rising cost of living. On Saturday, November 14, gatherings are expected in several cities, while authorities anticipate the deployment of up to 70,000 police officers and gendarmes.
The main focus is on Paris. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez stated that a security plan similar to last weekend’s will be implemented, with flexible measures depending on the situation on the ground.
This will be the fifth consecutive Saturday of protests, with the “Yellow Vests” movement, youth organizations, environmental activists and groups opposing violence against children and the proposed legal changes on the use of weapons by police expected to take part.
