Clashes erupted in Paris, Marseille and other cities on Saturday after tens of thousands of demonstrators, some in Halloween fancy dress, marched across France<\/a> in a third wave of protests over the cost of living and deteriorating public services.<\/p>\n

The interior minister, Laurent Nu\u00f1ez, said about 150 planned demonstrations around the country had passed off peacefully, but police had encountered an \u201cextraordinary\u201d level of violence from some rioters as the rallies ended.\u00a0 One riot police officer had been hit by a molotov cocktail in Paris<\/a>, he said, describing the incident as an \u201cattempted murder\u201d. \u201cWe are fully prepared for those looking for confrontation tonight,\u201d he added.\u00a0 About 320,000 people \u2013 down from an estimated 410,000 last weekend \u2013 took part in rallies around the country, the interior ministry said, including 70,000 in Paris who marched along boulevards on the south-eastern outskirts, avoiding the city centre.<\/p>\n
