A protester holds a placard during a demonstration to protest against the "high cost of living", in Bordeaux, southwestern France, on October 17, 2026 as part of a nationwide call for mobilisation bringing together various groups expressing their anger: former "Yellow Vests", secondary school and university students, climate activists and even farmers.
