More than 100,000 people took part in protests in France over rising prices

This is already the fifth consecutive Saturday that French citizens are holding mass demonstrations. Protesters are demanding higher wages and increased funding for education. Discontent built up against the backdrop of rising living costs and declining purchasing power. Trade unions, students and participants of the "Yellow Vests" movement, which has been known for mass protests against the government's economic policy since 2018, joined the rallies.
