Unrest Flares Again in France, but With Less Property Damage
After largely peaceful marches in France on Saturday, clashes with police broke out in the evening. A heavy police presence, about 1,000 arrests and rerouted marches helped prevent widespread vandalism.
Clashes between protesters and police broke out in France on Saturday, October 24, in the evening, after marches during the day had been largely peaceful. The New York Times reports that the unrest has flared up again, but this time with less damage to property than before.
How the damage was limited
According to the newspaper, several measures kept wholesale vandalism in check. A large number of police officers were deployed, the routes of the protest marches were changed, and about 1,000 people were arrested in total.
