France is set to hold its fifth consecutive Saturday of protests this weekend, with diverse groups uniting in Paris to demand higher wages, better education, and protection of civil liberties.
The diverse coalition brings together different causes that have been separately mobilizing across France. Despite their unity, the demonstrations face growing challenges as weeks of protests take their toll on participants and law enforcement alike.
Union leaders have expressed concerns about protest fatigue setting in among demonstrators, while police officers are demanding better compensation for the risks they face while maintaining order during these increasingly frequent demonstrations.
