France Prepares for Nationwide Protests and Strikes Amid Budget Deadlock
France is preparing for widespread protests and strikes called by trade unions and student groups, addressing issues like living costs, public services, and education. Authorities plan to deploy around 70,000 police amid concerns of unrest following violent incidents in October. The strikes are expected to disrupt public transport and reduce nuclear power output. The demonstrations occur amid a budget deadlock and six months before the presidential election, with various political actors seeking to influence public opinion.
