France will deploy approximately 70,000 police officers nationwide on Saturday as the country prepares for renewed demonstrations following looting and unrest that erupted on the sidelines of protests a week earlier. High school student protests over learning conditions have evolved into a broader nationwide movement fueled by anger over rising costs of living, with a coalition including the Yellow Vests movement, labor unions and students expected to march across the country with demands centered on education and purchasing power. Authorities are restricting demonstrations and closing major Paris museums out of concern that ransacking and looting similar to last Saturday's incidents could recur, when at least 550,000 protesters participated.
