France faced major unrest on Wednesday as the “Block Everything” protest spread across cities, including Paris. Protesters blocked roads, lit fires, and clashed with police. Nearly 200 people were arrested in the first hours, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau confirmed. A bus was set on fire in Rennes, and damage to a power line disrupted trains in the southwest. Police used tear gas to break barricades and clear traffic. The protest began online, calling for blockades and strikes against budget cuts and inequality. President Emmanuel Macron’s new prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu, faced an immediate challenge on his first day in office. (PC: NDTV)
