The French interior ministry has announced the mobilization of 70,000 police officers and gendarmes nationwide as the country braces for planned demonstrations on Saturday, which coincide with Halloween. The European regime faces mounting pressure amid widespread public anger over the soaring cost of living and deep-seated economic grievances.

Interior Minister Laurent Nunez stated during a news conference that October 31 presents an exceptionally high risk of public disorder. He purportedly indicated that security protocols, including the deployment of armored vehicles and water cannons introduced a week prior, would be significantly reinforced to handle potential unrest.

Nunez explicitly warned demonstrators against utilizing Halloween as a pretext to conceal their faces in public spaces to instigate chaos. He noted that while gatherings might be permitted in certain areas, they would be strictly barred from city centers where the threat of disruption remains acute.

Authorities have also leveled accusations against fringe political groups and various activists for allegedly circulating inflammatory messages on social media calling for revolutionary actions. Despite the heavy security apparatus, the ongoing persistence of the "yellow vest" movement highlights the severe socioeconomic challenges facing the administration.
