France wakes up divided and damaged after violent protests

France is waking up politically divided and partly damaged after protests turned violent, with President Emmanuel Macron expected to address the nation Sunday evening. Hundreds of thousands demonstrated against the government, high living costs, and police. Clashes erupted before marches began Saturday, with masked groups causing chaos. Police arrested 1,800 people, including 855 in Paris, and 150 officers were injured. A 17-year-old in Saint-Étienne lost his right hand from a grenade, and shops were looted in multiple cities. In Limoges, a 19th-century town hall was set ablaze, collapsing its roof. Authorities report 550,000 participants, though unions claim 800,000. The protests stem from a left-leaning student movement, now joined by farmers, unions, and Yellow Vest supporters, united in criticism but divided on solutions.
