France protests swell as 410,000 rally over costs

More than 400,000 people protested across France on October 24 over soaring living costs and school funding, with clashes in Paris and Marseille despite a 70,000-strong police deployment, the Korea Times and Chosun Ilbo report. The government counted 410,000 participants, while the CGT union claimed 800,000, according to Dong-A Ilbo. Police arrested about 1,000 people, and luxury stores boarded up windows and museums closed ahead of the march, Korea Times reports. French residents of Korea blame an unresponsive government for the unrest, telling the Korea Times the anger has been brewing for a long time with little response to calls for reform.
