Youth-led protests sweep Europe as French interior minister warns of risk of disorder
French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez warned of a "very high risk" of disorder on Halloween as some 320,000 people took to the streets nationwide. NPR reports that youth-led protests are sweeping across Europe.
French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez warned on 31 October, Halloween, of a "very high risk" of disorder, especially after dark. His warning came as roughly 320,000 people took part in demonstrations across France.
According to a report by US public broadcaster NPR, tension is rising in France again, while youth-led protests are also spreading to other European countries.
The minister placed particular emphasis on the evening and night hours. That suggests the security assessment in France relates not only to the demonstrations themselves but also to how events might develop once night falls.
The source excerpt does not specify why people took to the streets, what demands have been made, or which other European countries are involved. Those details are not confirmed in the material available, so they are not included here.
