France prepares for another day of mass protests.

The French government has decided to engage 70 thousand police and gendarmes across the country on Saturday, November 7th, while the anti-cost protests movement and government policies enter a new phase.

French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez confirmed on Friday, November 6th that authorities will maintain the high level of security measures implemented during previous protests.

According to the minister, the risk of confrontations and incidents remains the same as that of past Saturdays, when in some French cities there were clashes between protesters and rule forces.

The new protests have been warned by youth organisations and groups of the movement of the Yellow Yells, following the mobilizations that began on 17 October.

Disatisfaction is linked to increasing cost of living and requirements for changes in government economic and social policies.

Saturday’s mobilisation comes shortly after the November 5th protests and national strikes, which included workers, students and unions in dozens of French cities.

French authorities are aiming to ensure the development of peaceful protests, but at the same time have warned strong measures against any attempts at violence or destruction of property.
