Molotov cocktail attacks injured several officers as nationwide cost-of-living protests descended into violence
Rioters hurled flaming projectiles at police in Paris as another wave of cost-of-living protests swept across France on Saturday.
Five law enforcement officers were injured, including three by Molotov cocktails, according to police.
French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez described the attacks as “attempted murder.”
Videos from the scene show a Molotov cocktail being thrown at officers standing in formation with riot shields. One officer catches fire and is quickly engulfed in flames before a colleague uses a fire extinguisher to put out the blaze.

In a separate incident, an incendiary device was thrown at a group of officers during a standoff in the middle of a street, briefly setting one officer’s legs on fire.
Police fired volleys of tear gas and stun grenades as rioters threw bottles and other projectiles.

“The burning sensation is immediate, intense and grows stronger over time,” an unnamed gendarme injured by an incendiary device told BFMTV. “I couldn’t see it because you can’t look everywhere at once, and the barrage of projectiles was relentless,” he added.
After watching footage of the incident, the gendarme said, “It made me realize that we may have narrowly avoided a catastrophe.”

Around 320,000 people rallied across France on Saturday, including 70,000 in Paris, according to the Interior Ministry. Organizers put the turnout at 500,000 nationwide, including 200,000 in the capital. Police said 565 people were arrested.
Paris authorities imposed a partial overnight curfew from 11 PM to 6 AM in the areas around Place de la Republique, Place du Chatelet and Les Halles on Saturday and Sunday nights.
Although many demonstrations began peacefully, “radical elements” instigated riots in several cities, according to police. Nunez said there had been “calls for people to gather at 8 PM to take advantage of Halloween night, wear masks and engage in looting, vandalism or attacks on public buildings.”
French media also reported incidents of alleged police brutality, with Le Monde describing officers striking apparently non-threatening protesters in Paris and two young men reportedly injured during arrests in Grenoble.
The protests began in September with high school students demanding better educational facilities, more teachers and increased funding. Separately, trade unions and Yellow Vest activists mobilized against rising living costs and fuel prices. The movements converged on October 17, bringing students, workers and other protesters together in nationwide demonstrations that have since broadened to include demands for civil liberties and an end to police violence.

Las multitudinarias protestas que tuvieron lugar este sábado en distintas ciudades de Alemania para exigir más inversión en escuelas, protección del clima y vivienda, y para rechazar cualquier plan de retorno al servicio militar obligatorio derivaron en violentos enfrentamientos con las fuerzas del orden. Algunos manifestantes saquearon establecimientos y arrojaron cócteles molotov. Varios agentes de la Policía resultaron heridos.

Victoria reparadora del Barcelona ante el Alavés tras las derrotas frente al PSG y el Madrid. Un triunfo que llegó con goles y buen juego para que el líder recupere confianza.
No hay mejor antídoto que una lluvia de goles para poner fin a una mala racha. El Barça de Flick necesitaba ahuyentar los fantasmas de las derrotas precisamente en la noche más fantasmagórica del año, y recuperar la senda de la victoria. El Alavés era la oportunidad para volver a la rutina del triunfo A. P. (antes de París). Así fue. Fermín, goleador y doble asistente, fue el mejor y el más decisivo. Raphinha firmó un doblete, como tenía acostumbrado al barcelonismo antes de lesionarse, y Lamine puso la guinda con otras dos dianas tras una semana complicada por su tercer puesto en el Balón de Oro. Gordon redondeó la noche con el sexto. Solo Mariano, exmadridista, batió a Joan Garcia en el último suspiro y privó al Barça de la portería a cero.
