PARIS, OCTOBER 24 /SRNA/ - More than 70,000 security personnel will be deployed across France today as the country braces for another wave of protests.
French authorities have blamed far-left groups for inciting violence, disorder, and unrest following demonstrations on October 17.
Authorities have stepped up security measures, introducing partial curfews in several major cities, including Paris.
Meanwhile, the US Embassy in France issued a security alert ahead of the protests, urging American citizens to exercise caution.
Moreover, US President Donald Trump has openly criticized Paris over the protests, linking them to immigration and calling on the French government to close the border to illegal crossings. He described today as a “bad day for France.”
