Dozens of arrests were made across France early on Wednesday as a new protest movement disrupted highway traffic, officials confirmed. Demonstrators from the "Block Everything" campaign staged widespread disruptions, prompting security forces to deploy nationwide.
The movement, which gained traction on social media over the summer, has drawn parallels to the 2018 "Yellow Vest" protests. Those earlier demonstrations initially erupted over fuel price hikes but quickly broadened into a significant challenge against French President Emmanuel Macron and his economic reform agenda.
