France plans to deploy approximately 70,000 police officers and gendarmes nationwide on Saturday, October 24, as officials prepare for another wave of demonstrations following serious violence during protests the previous weekend.
Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez announced the security operation on Friday, saying authorities were preparing to respond firmly to violence, looting and vandalism. The deployment represents an increase from the previous weekend, when demonstrations escalated into clashes and widespread property damage in several cities.
