France supports Melenchon at protests

On October 17, 2026, Paris witnessed a massive protest rally in support of presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon, protesting against the worsening living conditions in France and rising inflation rates. As he left the demonstration, Mélenchon received strong backing from the participants, with chants urging him to run for president, reflecting the extent of popular support—especially among the youth. He affirmed that the size of the protests exceeded expectations and demonstrated the strength of their movement, which is the most significant since the events of May 1968. The protests come amid a surge in demonstrations over the high cost of living and increase political uncertainty ahead of the presidential elections scheduled for six months from now, amidst a political climate that mirrors growing anger across the country.
