More than 100,000 people have taken to the streets in France in another round of cost-of-living rallies organised by the “Yellow Vests” and various youth movements.

Saturday’s protests saw a decline in turnout compared with previous weekends and stayed largely calm, authorities said.

The Ministry of the Interior reported that 106,000 people took part in protests nationwide, including 24,000 in Paris – down from 146,000 people nationwide and 46,000 in Paris last week. Student unions place Saturday’s protest numbers higher, at 200,000 people, including almost 100,000 in the capital.

The country has been gripped by high-school blockades, mass demonstrations, and strikes for more than a month, with protesters rallying against falling educational standards, cost-of-living increases, low wages, and police violence.
