Protests and civil unrest coverage on this page lists World News desk reports about demonstrations, strikes and related street politics. Detailed turnout, arrest and injury tallies for European protests are maintained on the Europe protest tracker and the France protest tracker. Those URLs remain the canonical trackers; this page is the broader article feed.
Crowd estimates from police, unions and organizers often disagree. We report the figures as claimed, with attribution, rather than inventing a single official number on this landing page.
