The French government deployed 70,000 police officers and special agents for protests planned for this Saturday (24) in several cities, according to G1.

The demonstrations come a week after protests against the high cost of living drew more than 500,000 people, according to estimates from the country's press. In Orléans, the municipality hosts on Saturday and Sunday (25) a congress of the National Rally (RN), the far-right party of presidential candidate Marine Le Pen.
