@mentalupgrade6: #France #FranceProtests #Paris France is assessing the damage after mass protests over the rising cost of living descended into violence and looting in several cities. Around 1,500 shops and retail businesses were reportedly damaged, with losses estimated in the hundreds of millions of euros. The unrest comes as student-led protests over education cuts broaden into a larger movement involving parents, teachers, trade unions and the Yellow Vest movement. Similar cost-of-living demonstrations have also taken place in Italy, Belgium and Portugal, highlighting growing economic and political pressure across Europe. #France #FranceProtests
