Nationwide demonstrations against rising living costs and student grievances led to scuffles and fires across France. In Paris, police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse violent groups in the Place de la République, while similar tensions erupted in Marseille, Rennes, Toulouse, and Angers. Authorities reported incidents including attempted looting, attacks on police, and the burning of street furniture and shops in Marseille.
