Protests in France, which initially began as high school students demanding better educational conditions and have since escalated into large-scale civil unrest, entered their third consecutive weekend.

The latest protests took place in Paris, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, and other regions with the participation of student and labor organizations. The French Ministry of Interior estimated the number of protesters at 320,000.

Meanwhile, the first youth protest since the unrest in France was held in Germany, with over 180,000 people registering online nationwide to join the demonstrations.
