Some 106,000 people marched through French cities for a fifth consecutive weekend of protests, marking the lowest turnout in recent weeks. Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets across France on Saturday to demonstrate against the rising cost of living. The figures are clearly lower than those of previous calls, according to the authorities: last Saturday a total of 146,000 protesters participated; on October 31, 320,000; on October 24, 410,000;.
