Where things stand
• General strike: French riot police fired tear gas in Paris and Lyon while scuffles broke out in Nantes and authorities arrested agitators who vandalized a Rennes hotel. But overall, the roughly 200 demonstrations across France on Thursday – attended by almost 600,000 people – remained relatively peaceful.
• Widespread disruptions: The strike was organized by L’intersyndicale, the group that represents all of France’s main trade unions. Education, health care, public transportation and other sectors were impacted with many services closed for the day.
• Europe discontent: Anti-government protests have swept across the continent in recent weeks. In Greece, students and teachers gathered in central Athens on Thursday to stress the importance of free public education and protest the rising housing and food costs affecting students.
