Members of the yellow vest movement and trade unions staged major protests across France on Saturday over rising fuel pricing and a spiralling cost-of-living crisis, which was also joined by a separate student-led protest demanding an increase in funding for schools.
Speaking to Euronews, Karl Ghazi, a representative of the Paris branch of the General Confederation of Labour (CGT), one of France's largest trade unions, revealed that the protest was arranged in part to support the student-led mass protests which have rocked the country in recent weeks, demanding the government revamp the education system, increase in school funding and access to resources as well as modernise classrooms and institutions.
