Relief and Anxiety Mix in France After Renewed Street Clashes

France is experiencing a mix of relief and anxiety a day after renewed street clashes. Police managed to keep vandalism under control, but a very large number of people took part in the protests.

That fact, together with the country's fraught political situation, suggests that unrest could widen in the coming period. The calmer picture now is therefore viewed with caution.

The information available in the source is very limited, so further details on the causes of the protests, their locations and exact turnout cannot be given at this time.
