About 575,000 people took part in protests and a strike that swept across France on Thursday—the biggest turnout since the wave of unrest began in September. Schools, universities and trains were partly disrupted, while authorities reported no major disruption to healthcare. Although the day passed relatively peacefully, limited clashes broke out in several cities. Police arrested 448 people, and firefighters dealt with 86 fires. Workers are demanding higher wages and pensions, while student groups are calling for more funding for education. The Yellow Vests movement is demanding the departure of Emmanuel Macron and his government. Protesters said they intended to continue demonstrating.
