France deploys 70,000 police ahead of weekend protests

France is bracing for new protests this weekend after some of the worst urban violence in years erupted on the sidelines of demonstrations a week ago. The government will deploy some 70,000 police nationwide, with armored vehicles and special elite teams also mobilized, according to Yonhap and Chosun Ilbo reports. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said authorities will respond firmly to rioters and looters, and President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to prevent a repeat of last weekend's violence, dismissing foreign criticism as 'stupid' and 'unacceptable.' Some student protests have been banned in multiple cities after weekend looting and clashes.
