On November 7, parades and rallies against rising living costs and shrinking public services broke out in many parts of France for the fourth consecutive weekend. Although the number of protesters in this round was lower than in previous weeks, in Paris, some protesters clashed with the police. Some people threw debris and set off homemade fireworks at security personnel, and the police immediately used tear gas. Others lit trash cans and attacked police. After dark, some protesters made their way to Place de la Bastille in Paris. According to the French Ministry of the Interior, 146,000 people from all over France participated in the demonstrations, including 46,000 in Paris. However, the figures given by trade unions are 250,000 in the country and 75,000 in Paris. These figures are lower than the scale of demonstrations over the previous three weekends, but on November 5, the French Federation of Trade Unions just organized a large-scale strike and protest.
