Groups plan a day of protests across France on Saturday
Groups are planning demonstrations across France on Saturday, November 14.
The yellow vest coordination calls this its fifth day of action against the high cost of living, after organizing Saturday protests since October 17.
Youth groups are joining to demand better study conditions.
Other planned marches will oppose violence against children and teenagers, and a proposed law on police use of weapons.
Some protests are expected to join up, including in Paris, where organizers say several causes may share routes or meeting points.
France’s interior minister expects 50 to 60 demonstrations and says about 70,000 police and gendarmes will be deployed to oversee them.
The groups’ different protests are therefore set to take place on the same day, with some converging in cities.
Several groups are planning demonstrations across France on Saturday, 14 November, on a range of issues.
The Yellow Vests coordination calls the day its “act 5” and urges people to join all the planned mobilisations.
Youth organisations, unions and other groups are also expected to take part, with marches converging in some cities, including Paris.
Organisers cite concerns including the cost of living, study conditions, violence against children and a proposed law on police use of firearms.
Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said 70,000 police officers and gendarmes would be mobilised to oversee the actions.
