  "account": "France has seen over 200 people arrested during protests against high living costs and for better education, according to the country's Interior Ministry. Nationwide, there were 219 arrests by early evening. This happened in several cities including Marseille, Grenoble, and Lyon, where some confrontations occurred. Mounds of trash were set on fire and objects were thrown towards law enforcement. The Interior Ministry stated that the situation was manageable overall. Officially, 106,000 people demonstrated across the country, with 24,000 in Paris alone. In total, 137 protest actions took place, involving around 200,000 demonstrators, according to the organizers. This participation was less than previous weeks, with 146,000 people demonstrating nationwide last weekend. Demonstrations began at schools, with students protesting for more teaching staff, funds for repairing dilapidated schools, and against injustices in the education system. Mid-October, the protest ended with demonstrations against high living costs, called for by the Yellow Vest protest movement among others. Although fewer people are now attending demonstrations, the social protest does not appear to be ending. On Tuesday, labor unions called for another strike.",
