🇫🇷⚡️ — Protests are escalating in Paris, and clashes have broken out with police. According to Reuters, more than a hundred people have already been arrested today.

Protesters gathered in the Place de la République. Fireworks were thrown at security forces, and police used tear gas, according to AFP.

The protests involve "yellow vests," student organizations, and trade unions. They are demanding lower fuel prices, higher wages, and improved funding for education.

Protests are taking place throughout France. By noon, approximately 140 demonstrations had taken place across the country, involving over 32,000 people, excluding Paris.

As a reminder, the protests have been ongoing since the end of September. They were initiated by schoolchildren who are dissatisfied with the conditions of education. These protests coincided with a sharp increase in fuel prices.
