🚨 Barricades, tear gas & clashes: Paris descends into protest chaos

Paris is already heating up as protesters take to the streets ahead of a nationwide mobilization expected to draw tens of thousands.

🟥 protesters erected barricades while marching towards Place de la Republique
🟥 clashes flared up between protesters and law enforcement near Gare du Nord
🟥 police fired tear gas and charged crowds

The protests initially erupted at high schools in Paris’ northern suburbs over teacher shortages and rundown facilities, but have since spiraled into looting and arson amid broader frustration over the cost of living.
