France Deploys 70,000 Police Ahead of Halloween Protests Amid Violence Concerns
France plans to deploy 70,000 police officers nationwide on October 31 to manage anticipated protests coinciding with Halloween. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez warned of a very high risk of public disorder, citing calls on social media by radical left groups and Yellow Vest activists for gatherings aimed at inciting violence. Authorities will ban demonstrations in city centers and enforce strict security measures, including armored vehicles and water cannons, to prevent rioting and vandalism amid ongoing unrest over living costs and government policies.
