The French government has banned the sale and use of pyrotechnic devices until November 27 due to rising violence during protests and school blockades. This decision follows incidents where such devices were used against law enforcement and near schools. The decree, published in the Official Journal, prohibits fireworks and similar products, with exceptions for authorized professionals and public administrations. Protests on November 14 were largely peaceful, despite some incidents in cities like Marseille and Lyon, resulting in 219 arrests and minor injuries to ten police officers. Official estimates indicate 106,000 participants, while organizers claim 200,000.
