## Summary

A New York Post reporter described how a peaceful march in Paris involving more than 100,000 people turned violent after dark, saying the change happened suddenly near the march’s endpoint. The account highlights how a demonstration that began around education concerns broadened into a larger expression of public frustration.

Gabrielle Fahmy said the march had remained peaceful for several hours before masked newcomers arrived, some by metro, and tensions rose. She said many appeared to be in their late teens or early twenties and suggested some may have belonged to far-left groups; protesters cited living costs, jobs, low wages, food affordability and opposition to President Emmanuel Macron, while Palestinian flags were also visible.
