France protests over living costs turn violent
More than 400,000 people rallied across France on Saturday over school funding and soaring living costs, with clashes erupting in Paris as the march drew to a close, the Korea Times reports. Police used tear gas, and authorities deployed some 70,000 police nationwide, closed major Paris museums, and boarded up luxury boutiques to prevent a repeat of last week's violent unrest, which included looting and some of the worst urban violence in years, according to the Korea Times and Chosun Ilbo. The government acknowledged failures in its response to last weekend's violence and will reinforce police with troops, the Korea Times reports. Korean coverage focuses on the scale of the protests and the security response, with Chosun Ilbo noting that over 400,000 protesters took to the streets on Oct. 24 despite high-intensity assembly restrictions and a large police mobilization, but that looting and rioting were not prevented, with masked protesters clashing with police in Paris and Marseille as night fell.
