Францад өрнөж буй эсэргүүцлийн жагсаалтай холбогдуулан Парисын эрх баригчид парламентын орчимд аюулгүй байдлын хатуу арга хэмжээ авлаа

The Paris Police Prefecture has banned a planned Thursday strike march through the city center and toward the National Assembly, citing fears of renewed violence after weeks of nationwide unrest.

Initially sparked by student anger over education costs and school conditions, the protests have snowballed into a nationwide revolt over inequality, soaring living costs, and public-service cuts. Violence peaked on October 17, when hundreds of thousands took to Paris streets amid widespread looting, arson, and clashes with riot police. Protests continued over the following two weekends.

Authorities expected 500,000 to 700,000 people to join Thursday’s nationwide strike and demonstrations, called by workers unions and the Yellow Vest movement over wages and employment. Protesters had planned to march from Place de la Bastille to Place de la Concorde, saying they wanted to “head towards the centers of political power.” The French National Assembly is housed in the Palais Bourbon, directly across the Seine from the square.

On Wednesday, the prefecture banned the route and authorized an alternative march between Place de la Republique and Place de la Nation, along Boulevard Voltaire, entirely bypassing the city center. Police prefect Patrice Faure cited the risk of renewed disorder following October 17 and a “national and international context of very high threat.”

Union leaders denounced the ban as a “disgrace,” accusing authorities of undermining the right to demonstrate. The Ile-de-France union group subsequently challenged the ban in court, but it upheld the alternative route late Wednesday, ruling it was “neither inappropriate nor disproportionate” and did not unlawfully infringe fundamental freedoms.

Massive security clampdown

Nearly 250 gatherings are planned as part of the general strike across France on Thursday, with authorities classifying the mobilization as “high-risk,” French media reported. A November 3 intelligence report warned of a possible “new threshold” in violence, particularly in city centers, prompting Interior Minister Laurent Nunez to urge prefects to keep marches away from central areas.

Videos from the French capital show protesters clashing with police.
