France deployed 70,000 police officers to manage nationwide strikes and protests on Thursday, November 5. The protests, called by major unions, aimed to defend wages and jobs. The Interior Minister, Laurent Nuñez, maintained a significant security device to oversee the many processions and curb rioters and looters. Measures inspired by anti-terrorism caused concern among some. The protests were largely peaceful, with estimates of participants ranging from 500,000 to 1.6 million. However, clashes with police occurred in some cities, resulting in injuries and arrests.
