A general strike in France on Thursday sparked clashes between protesters and police in Paris, with authorities anticipating significant participation and potential violence. The strike aims to address rising living costs and declining public services, with unions warning of disruptions in public transport and education. Over 70,000 police will be deployed nationwide to maintain order, following previous unrest that led to extensive vandalism. The government, facing criticism for its handling of the crisis, is on high alert to prevent a repeat of past violence. Protests are expected to continue as public discontent grows.
