More than 500 people were arrested in demonstrations in France against the decline in the purchasing power of the population, the TF1 channel reported, citing data from the country's Ministry of the Interior. The organization stated that "the marches as part of the authorized demonstrations went without incident." However, "individuals with a radical ideology in several cities, including Bordeaux, Toulouse, Rennes, Lille, Nantes, Marseille and Lyon, tried to access central neighborhoods after the end of the parades in order to commit acts of vandalism and looting."
