noticiassin.com (Spanish) —

At least 600,000 people protested across France on Thursday for purchasing power and public services, surpassing previous demonstrations this autumn, according to the Interior Ministry. The figure exceeds the 450,000 estimated by unions during the October 6 protest, which also included a broad strike call. The ministry's count marks a rise in participation for this fall's mobilizations. Meanwhile, Prime Minister's office announced a "social conference" for Monday, where Sébastien Lecornu will meet unions and business groups to address wage and purchasing power concerns.
