France has deployed 70,000 security personnel, including elite units and armored vehicles, across the nation in response to escalating protests. This significant mobilization, which prompted President Macron to postpone an Africa trip, indicates a hardening state response to unrest over living costs and school conditions. The effectiveness of riot control tactics and potential for further escalation remain key uncertainties.
