The French authorities have announced the entry into force of a partial curfew in the capital between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 06:00 a.m. local time, from Saturday until November 2, and includes the Place de la République and Halle areas, in anticipation of expected demonstrations by the "Yellow Vests" movement, with the support of the trade unions. The Paris Police Department decided to ban the demonstration that was supposed to take place between the Place de la Bastille and the Place de la Concorde on the grounds of protecting public order and dealing with risks of violence and looting, specifying an alternative route for the demonstration between the Bagnault and Charenton gates from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m. On the other hand, the representatives of the workers' and students' unions expressed in a joint press conference their absolute refusal to change the course of the demonstration, and emphasized that the security decisions made constitute a direct restriction of the right to demonstrate and gather peacefully.
