Demonstrations took place across several European countries on Saturday, with crowds reported in France, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Albania, according to Público. The Portuguese outlet reported that around one thousand people were detained in France, and that one person was seriously injured in Albania.
Clashes were reported during the protests, including the use of bombs and stones and arrests, Público reported. In France, police confronted demonstrators and used bombs to try to contain the gatherings, according to the same reporting.
Coverage cited in the summary also points to the scale of the mobilisation in the French capital. More than 100,000 people protested in Paris against the rising cost of living, according to Jovem Pan.
The reports do not give a full breakdown of events by country, so the total number of participants and the circumstances behind the injury in Albania remain unclear from the material available. Público's account places the unrest in five countries on the same day, with France accounting for the largest number of detentions mentioned.
What to watch next: whether authorities in France and Albania release further details on the arrests and the injured person, and whether the protests continue into the coming days.
