Around 320,000 people, mostly young protesters, took to the streets across France on Saturday for a third consecutive weekend of demonstrations over rising living costs and a deteriorating education system. Some 70,000 police and gendarmes were deployed nationwide, with Paris marches redirected away from the city center to prevent unrest. Turnout was lower than in previous protests, which drew over 500,000 people on October 17 and 410,000 on October 24, according to government estimates.
