A French riot gendarme mobile has flames rising up his uniform after being hit by a Molotov cocktail during a charge against demonstrators at the end of a demonstration part of a nationwide day of protests over the rising cost of living and inequality organised by Yellow Vest movement, labour unions and high school and university students organisations, in Paris on October 31, 2026. "Exceptional" security deployment with 70,000 police officers and gendarmes mobilized and an alarmist tone: for Act III of the protests against the high cost of living, right in the middle of Halloween festivities, the authorities fear a repeat of the October 17 nightmare. France has been rocked by widespread anger over the rising cost of living and inequality. (Photo by Sameer AL-DOUMY / AFP)
