New demonstrations in France, 70 thousand officers deployed. Procession planned in Paris

Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said he expected between 50 and 60 marches across France and has ordered the mobilization of around 70,000 police and gendarmes. Substantially the same level used in the three Saturdays preceding today. Police sources told local media that between 30,000 and 60,000 people are expected in Paris, including potentially "300 to 600 people at risk". The Parisian procession, as mentioned, left at 2pm from Place de la République in the direction of Place de la Nation, passing through Place de la Bastille. This is a route that will allow families with children to leave the demonstration before it ends, thus avoiding any clashes with the police, as has already occurred at the end of previous demonstrations.

In addition to those protesting for better school conditions and against the high cost of living, several associations for the defense of human rights have also decided to join the protests, in particular against the proposed law that introduces the presumption of legitimate use of weapons by the police. A rule which, in the opinion of those who take to the streets, is equivalent to a sort of "permission to kill". Around 50,000 people had already demonstrated against the proposal across the country on September 20, according to data from the Ministry of the Interior.
