France protests draw 410,000, clashes erupt

On October 24, over 410,000 people (police estimate; organizers claim 800,000) protested across France against high prices and poor education funding, with clashes in Paris and other cities despite a ban and 70,000 police deployed. Yonhap reports the government counted 410,000 participants, while the CGT union claimed 800,000. Chosun Ilbo notes that although violence was less severe than a week earlier, masked protesters clashed with police in Paris and Marseille, and looting occurred. Korea Times adds that luxury stores boarded up windows and Paris museums closed ahead of the protests. Korean media emphasize the scale and the government's heavy response, with Dong-A Ilbo reporting about 1,000 arrests.
