France's cost-of-living protests stretch into another weekend as streets turn violent
French demonstrators kept hitting the streets for another weekend of cost-of-living protests, and the unrest turned violent, according to CBS News. Authorities answered with curfews as the movement refused to fade.
France's cost-of-living protests rolled into yet another weekend, with demonstrations continuing across the country, according to CBS News. The latest round marked no letup in a movement that keeps pulling people into the streets.
The protests took a violent turn, CBS News reported, as tensions between demonstrators and the response on the ground escalated. French authorities responded by imposing curfews.
At the center of it all is the cost of living, the pressure that has driven the unrest from the start. Economic struggles have become a defining force in politics on both sides of the Atlantic, and France's streets are the loudest version of it right now.
The curfews signal officials are trying to contain the situation rather than let it burn through another weekend. With protests now stretching across multiple weekends, the question is whether the anger cools or the crowds grow.
