France's Macron to Visit Marseille after Protest Violence
The French government sought to draw a line Monday under weeks of protests that have been marred by violence, with President Emmanuel Macron headed to Marseille and the prime minister to meet with students demanding better school conditions. France has been rocked by widespread anger over the rising cost of living, with nationwide demonstrations on October 17 degenerating into some of the country's worst rioting in years. The demonstrations have come at a critical moment for France, six months ahead of a presidential election to replace centrist Macron.
