Nice Protest October 24: Live Coverage of City Center Mobilization

A second major social protest is expected in Nice, France, on Saturday, October 24, 2026, following last week's demonstration against the cost of living that drew thousands and saw urban violence. The prefecture has banned all gatherings in a large zone covering most of the city center for the day. The ban was announced Thursday, with authorities publishing a map of the restricted area where rallies are prohibited. Organizers have called for a gathering at 14:00 on Place Masséna, though the expected turnout remains unclear. The first protest on October 17 was marked by clashes and looting, prompting the strict security measures. This new mobilization is seen as a second act of the social movement.
