France: 1.314 arrested during protests across the country

On Saturday, France experienced another day of nationwide protests involving more than 400,000 demonstrators marching over the rising cost of living and school funding. While the majority of the marches remained peaceful following a week of riots and looting in several cities, police reported that over 1,300 people were arrested across the country amid isolated violence.

The demonstrations mark a continuation of civil unrest in France, occurring just one week after widespread rioting and looting affected multiple urban centers. Despite the high number of arrests, authorities noted that Saturday's protests were largely orderly compared to the previous week's disturbances.
