Main Points
Emmanuel Macron warned that Saturday, 31 October, would be a “day at risk” amid France’s ongoing mobilization against rising living costs. The president, who visited Marseille on Monday, admitted a lack of anticipation during the protests on 17 October but praised the overall calm of the demonstrations on 24 October. In preparation for the 31 October events, the government has agreed with prefects to route marches outside city centers, following damage to businesses two weeks earlier. Police will also impose curfews. According to TF1‑LCI police‑justice journalist Marie Belot, the day is typically “complicated in terms of maintaining order” because of Halloween‑related street violence that often occurs in the evening. Earlier on Friday, the “Gilets Jaunes” movement called for “casserolades” – a form of protest in which participants would play pots and pans outside parliamentary windows. The group also announced a minute of silence for “all victims of the police and the far right.” The movement’s spokesperson said they would “make our pots heard under the windows of parliamentarians” to protest restrictions on demonstrations and curfews.
