France braces for new protests
A coalition of the “Yellow Vests” movement, trade unions and students will march across France on Saturday with demands over studying conditions and purchasing power. Some 70,000 police are expected to be deployed as authorities fear looting and vandalism similar to last Saturday's unrest. Story by J. Pownall, S. Perez, M. Bougault.
Israel's Foreign Ministry has warned Israelis to be cautious when traveling to France, following recent violent protests and riots across the country. The advisory comes as concerns mount that similar demonstrations may occur in the coming days. Authorities have highlighted October 24 and November 5 as potential dates for renewed unrest.
The ministry advises Israelis in France and those planning to visit the country to avoid demonstrations, protests, and large gatherings, even when they appear peaceful. They should be prepared to leave any situation that escalates suddenly and not stop to watch or film the incident.
Brands such as Chanel, Hermes, and Rolex are boarding up windows and increasing security in anticipation of fresh protests. Some luxury stores in France have decided to remain closed due to the risk of looting and violence that occurred last weekend in Paris, Marseille, and Bordeaux. In response, interior minister Laurent Nuñez has deployed 70,000 police officers, backed by specialist units, to prevent further violence.
Luxury brands like LVMH, including Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Bulgari, are enhancing their security measures near Place Vendome, with additional private security being planned for the area. Department store Printemps has also increased its security staff and reinforced shop windows and entrances.
