According to local media, high school students who have been protesting for a month to improve educational conditions, farmers protesting fuel prices and climate activists also supported the yellow vest movement, which started in 2018 and took to the streets every year against the high cost of living.

The French Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that there will be protests at 500 different points across the country.

On the other hand, the Paris Police Department banned protests at important points in the capital such as the Elysee Palace, the Prime Ministry Building and the Champs-Elysees.

Despite the ban, shop owners on the famous Champs-Elysees Avenue blocked their shop windows with billboards and security forces were deployed along the street.

The march from Republic Square to Clichy Square in Paris will start at 14.00 local time.

In addition to the capital Paris, protests continue in the cities of Lyon, Marseille, Rennes and Lille.
