[Regnum] During and after the unrest that occurred in France on October 24, police detained more than 1,300 people, and 53 law enforcement officers were injured, Le Monde reported.
The Paris police prefecture said 142 people were detained in the capital, 126 of whom were taken into custody.
"Trade was disrupted and some shops were looted," said prefectural spokeswoman Helene Denecker.
According to the publication, the number of protesters on October 24 was the same as on October 17, but thanks to more sophisticated security measures, the consequences were less severe. Specifically, police quickly stopped hooligans from invading a car dealership. A total of 70,000 police officers and gendarmes were deployed to maintain law and order, a 20% increase over previous protests.
According to Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, at least two demonstrators were seriously injured: a 20-year-old man injured in Toulouse and a protester hospitalized in Clermont-Ferrand with a hand injury.
A wave of protests began in September in France with schoolchildren protesting against a shortage of teachers, overcrowded schedules, and the state of educational institutions. Residents of disadvantaged suburbs, representatives of migrant communities, and left-wing radical movements later joined the protests. Some of the demonstrations escalated into riots, with looting, arson, and clashes with police. Some rallies were accompanied by acts of vandalism. In Paris, protesters smashed windows, looted stores, and set cars on fire. As of October 18, over 500 police officers had been injured.
The nationwide demonstration on October 17th was the largest. According to various estimates, between 500,000 and 800,000 people participated. The protesters protested rising fuel prices and declining real incomes. Following the unrest, police detained 2,700 people, and 217 were taken into custody. The French Ministry of the Interior acknowledged that police lost control of the situation during the mass protests in several cities and stated that the army could be called in to combat the unrest.
On October 24, more than 400,000 people took part in marches across France. One of the country's largest trade unions, the General Confederation of Labour, reported nearly 800,000 demonstrators. In Paris, 110,000 people took part in the demonstrations, while the union estimates the number at 250,000.

2500 arrests across France over the weekend; of 54 orgs involved only 16 are student or youth-led
[NYPost] Violent riots that are pulling France apart are being coordinated with the help of dozens of far-left radical groups, including self-described communists and socialists, "Yellow Vests," free Palestine activists and Islamic organizations, a new investigation has found.
Of the 54 organizations and movements identified as part of the nationwide protests that led to 2,500 arrests across France over the weekend, only 16 are student or youth-led groups, according to a Fox News Digital report.
That is despite the origin of the protests being about school conditions, and later about youth employment and the cost of living.
