“Massive Protests Sweep France as Thousands Demand Marine Le Pen’s Resignation”

Protests are happening in cities across France, including Paris, demanding the resignation of Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally (RN) party, according to Reuters. The dissatisfaction with RN’s increasing popularity comes after the recent European parliamentary elections. Around 350,000 people have joined the protests, resulting in 21,000 arrests. Reports suggest that the demonstrations involved acts of violence, participation from student groups, and extremist organizations protesting against immigration and showing euroscepticism. Around 150 protests are expected to occur in various cities, such as Marseille, Toulouse, Lyon, and Lille. In Paris, the march is set to begin at 12:00 from Republic Square, with an estimated participation of up to 100,000 people.
