France Prepares for Fresh Wave of Anti-Government Protests

France is bracing for another day of demonstrations as trade unions and student groups protest against rising living costs, while the Yellow Vests movement plans a separate rally in Paris despite an official ban. Authorities have deployed 70,000 police officers and security personnel nationwide. Protesters are demanding higher minimum wages, salary increases, tax reforms and improved learning conditions. The unrest comes amid growing political pressure on President Emmanuel Macron’s government ahead of next year’s presidential election.
