Protest numbers drop in France

Large-scale protests in France, which once attracted between 550,000 and 800,000 participants, have seen a significant decline in recent years.

Government strategy focuses on order

The French government has adopted a "doctrine of maintaining order," which has been described as a strategy aimed at preventing large gatherings through strict enforcement of public order laws.

Critics call approach violent

Human rights organizations and activists have criticized this doctrine, labeling it as violent due to the use of force and heavy police presence during demonstrations.

Public response remains divided

While some citizens support the government’s efforts to restore stability, others argue that the approach has suppressed legitimate forms of protest and civil dissent.
