French protests turn violent, spread across Europe as Trump family ties emerge in Albania

Anti-government protests in France, initially led by students, have turned violent, with rioters setting fire to a historic town hall in Limoges and clashing with police across the country. The demonstrations, which began last month over rising living costs and education conditions, drew about 550,000 participants on October 17. Authorities reported around 2,400 arrests and nearly 1,000 injured police officers, as some protesters looted stores and burned vehicles. President Macron condemned the violence, stating there is no place for it in the republic. The unrest has raised concerns across Europe, with experts noting that mishandling the protests could impact next year's presidential election in France and influence other nations facing upcoming votes.
