On November 5, part of France's public sector launched a general strike, triggering nationwide protests. The demonstrations were said to be generally peaceful, but unnecessary clashes between the police and the public broke out again in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Toulouse, and Strasbourg. According to reports from the French Ministry of the Interior, up to now, 53 police officers have been injured in clashes, and 448 have been arrested. The general strike also caused France's nuclear power output to drop on the morning of November 5, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris was closed. According to the French Ministry of the Interior, the number of people participating in the parade and rally from all over the country is about 575,000. Meanwhile, the French Federation of Trade Unions, one of the organizers, said it had mobilized as many as 1.6 million people across the country, including 350,000 in Paris. There are about 70,000 police and gendarmes on duty across France, on a scale similar to previous weekends.
