French police have arrested dozens of demonstrators during the escalating ‘Block Everything’ protests, which have swept across multiple cities. The movement, fueled by anger over government reforms and broader dissatisfaction with President Emmanuel Macron’s policies, has led to widespread disruptions and clashes with law enforcement.
Protesters, many masked and carrying banners calling for Macron’s resignation, blocked roads, disrupted public transport, and set up barricades in urban centers. Police responded with tear gas and crowd control measures, resulting in violent confrontations in some areas.
Authorities reported multiple injuries, while unions and protest organizers vowed to continue their campaign until the government addresses their demands. Critics argue that Macron’s administration has failed to respond adequately to the growing unrest, while supporters maintain that the protests are undermining public order.
The ‘Block Everything’ movement marks yet another chapter in France’s long history of mass demonstrations, highlighting deep divisions within the country. With tensions rising, the government faces mounting pressure to find a resolution before the protests spiral further.
