On November 5, the Eiffel Tower was closed to visitors due to a nationwide strike and demonstrations held in France at the call of trade unions. The protests are directed against rising prices and the quality of public services and education. Authorities expect up to 700,000 protesters, including up to 80,000 in Paris, while the Interior Ministry is deploying around 70,000 law enforcement officers. The protests began in mid-September with demonstrations by schoolchildren.
