"The marches went well" - the French government in protests a week after looting and violence.

Hundreds of thousands marched across France on Saturday in protest of the rising cost of living. While the protests in Paris began peacefully, they ended with a heavy security response from the government following the escalation. In other cities there were clashes that also contributed to the almost 1,000 arrested across the country, meanwhile other countries in Europe mobilized on issues with some overlap. "The marches went well," said Interior Minister Loren Nunez.
