Yellow Vests, supported by students, organized demonstrations across the country on October 17 against the cost of living and high fuel prices.

Approximately 2,500 people were detained during the demonstrations, and more than 1,000 police officers, gendarmerie soldiers and firefighters were injured.

Approximately 3 thousand workplaces were damaged or looted during the demonstrations that included violent incidents.

Those whose workplaces were damaged during the protests reacted to the government on the grounds that it could not manage the crisis.

To prevent possible protests, the government decided to impose a partial curfew in some regions, especially the cities of Paris, Lille, Lyon, Nice and Marseille.
