New protests took place all over France on Saturday. Students, unions and Yellow Vests went to the street. They protest against high prices. Bad schools are also a reason for anger. Around 70,000 security forces were on duty. These are very many police officers. The government wanted to prevent violence like last weekend. There were lootings and fires back then.
Demonstrations were forbidden in many cities. In Paris people were only allowed to walk on a short route. Famous museums like the Louvre stayed closed. Shop owners protected their windows with wood boards. The police made very many checks. They looked for dangerous things. They found slingshots, metal balls and fireworks. Over 130 persons were arrested.
There was a fight in the city of Lyon. The police used tear gas against 150 people. In Orleans 11,000 people protested against a right-wing party. A bad attack from Friday was also a topic. A man had shot at foreigners near Paris. One person died. President Macron called that a racist terror attack. Human rights groups criticize the strict bans of the police.
