Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
The initial wave of protests began last month at high schools in Paris' poor northern suburbs, where anger over teacher absences and shabby facilities quickly morphed into a nationwide movement against inequality, weak public spending and falling standards.
What happened

PARIS, Oct 17 - Tens of thousands of people are expected to protest across France on Saturday, as students, trade unionists and remnants of the Yellow Vest movement join forces to demonstrate against high prices and the country's fraying social model.
Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on Thursday that authorities fear unrest during the protests.
The government blames the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) for inflaming the protests, an accusation LFI denies.
"We are in an atmosphere of perma-crisis: wars, inflation, and issues surrounding purchasing power."
