dijlahpoint - Protest movements continue in several French cities for the third consecutive week in protest against escalating living costs and the decline in the quality of public services, amidst a widening scope of demands to include broad living, economic, and social issues.
The competent authorities deployed large numbers of security personnel to secure the gatherings, which mostly took on a peaceful character, while limited skirmishes, riots, and sabotage broke out in some locations.
