The massive wave of protests in France continued for the third consecutive weekend, with approximately 320,000 demonstrators across the country according to the Interior Ministry. The violent clashes were concentrated in Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, and Marseille, where masked individuals threw stones and Molotov cocktails at police, who responded with tear gas and water cannons. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez reported 565 arrests and an incident where a Molotov cocktail hit an officer, which he described as an 'attempted murder.' In Lyon, protesters were documented trampling and burning Israeli and American flags while shouting hate slogans. Far-right leader Marine Le Pen condemned the violence. The protests, which began in September over the cost of living and the state of the education system, have drawn trade unions, 'Yellow Vest' activists, and extremist groups from immigrant suburbs. Property damage to businesses is estimated at one billion euros.
