A large-scale protest is taking place in Paris, the capital of France, against rising prices, violence against children and a bill concerning the use of firearms by police officers, APA reports, citing AFP.
The march, organized under the coordination of the Yellow Vests and supported by youth organizations, trade unions and other movements, is proceeding from Place de la République to Place de la Nation.
According to reports, the Paris Police Prefecture has authorized the demonstration. Various organizations, including the Paris regional branches of CGT, FSU and FO, as well as human rights organizations and children's rights advocacy groups, are participating in the protest.
Demonstrators are protesting against the rising cost of living, violence against children and adolescents, and a bill that would make the use of firearms by law enforcement officers legally permissible.
French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said that approximately 70,000 police officers and gendarmes would be deployed across the country on Saturday to ensure security during the protest.
Note that separate protests and strikes are planned in France on November 17 at the call of public sector trade unions.
