French police made more than 1,300 arrests as a second weekend of mass protests over living costs and run-down schools ended in clashes in Paris and other cities. The Interior Ministry said 1,314 people were detained nationwide on Saturday, with 53 police officers and gendarmes injured. In total, about 410,000 people marched across France, including roughly 110,000 in Paris. The government deployed more than 70,000 officers and brought in an elite police unit usually reserved for counterterrorism and other high-risk operations. Several cities, including Lyon, barred marches from their centers, and Macron issued a decree allowing only demonstrations organized by recognized trade unions. Shop windows were boarded up and major museums, including the Louvre, stayed closed in central Paris. In Paris, the main march began from Porte d’Italie and followed outer boulevards toward Porte de Vincennes. Police said trouble flared after dark, with tear gas and water cannon used on the crowd. Groups of masked young people built barricades, threw objects at officers, and broke glass at an auto showroom. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said about 500 of those at the back of the march were rioters. Earlier in the day, Paris police carried out more than 3,000 checks and made 65 arrests. Confrontations were also reported in Marseille and Lyon. In Lyon, police fired tear gas to break up a group of about 150 people, most of them high school and university students, gathered in a restricted area. As the night went on, Nunez said the arrest total was expected to rise. He added that two protesters were seriously hurt. In Toulouse, a 20-year-old lost several fingers on one hand after an explosive device went off near him, according to a street medic. Another person was hurt in Clermont-Ferrand. The previous weekend, Oct. 17, unrest had led to looting, arson and vandalism, including businesses being ransacked and buildings set alight. Saturday’s security plan aimed to prevent a repeat. In Albania, more than 2,000 police officers were deployed in Tirana, with tear gas and water cannon used against crowds. The arrests and clashes were recorded during the weekend of protests, with detainees held after Saturday’s crackdown and more injuries reported overnight.
