一座位于法国利摩日市、历经143年的地标性建筑在周六被蒙面抗议者引发的大火“几乎毁于一旦”，此前法国因生活成本上升和公共服务下降而爆发的抗议活动在全国部分地区演变为暴力冲突，导致超过1000人被捕。比利时、葡萄牙和意大利也在周六出现了较小规模的抗议活动，因为欧洲各地的生活成本持续攀升。在阿尔巴尼亚，示威者走上街头，抗议所谓的政府腐败、就业短缺和教育标准低下。
A 143-year-old landmark in the French city of Limoges was "largely lost" to a fire started by masked protesters on Saturday as protests in France over rising living costs and declining public services turned violent in parts of the country, resulting in more than 1,000 arrests. Belgium, Portugal and Italy also witnessed smaller protests on Saturday as living costs continued to rise across Europe. In Albania, demonstrators took to the streets over alleged government corruption, job shortages, and poor educational standards.
历史市政厅“几乎毁于一旦”利摩日的市政厅在这场大火中“几乎毁于一旦”，该地区最高官员向法新社表示，对这座历史建筑的破坏是“对遗产的灾难性打击”，并将其谴责为“流氓的蓄意行为”。“屋顶已坍塌至楼下各层，除了西翼之外，建筑外墙的三分之二已经消失，”当地省长莫里斯·巴拉特表示。
Historic town hall 'largely lost' to blazeThe town hall in Limoges was "largely lost" to the fire, the region's top official told news agency AFP, calling the damage to the historic building a "catastrophe for heritage" and condemning it as a "deliberate act by hooligans". "The roof has collapsed onto lower floors, except the west wing, and two-thirds of the exterior has already disappeared," local prefect Maurice Barate said.
目击者称，一群蒙面抗议者首先在市政厅外点燃了一辆警车，随后砸碎窗户闯入建筑内部引发火灾。消防队员在周六晚间被派往现场，以将火势控制住。
Witnesses said a group of masked protesters first set a police car on fire outside the town hall before smashing windows and entering the building to start a blaze. Firefighters were deployed late on Saturday to bring the fire under control.
当数百人围观建筑燃烧时，一名市政雇员被看到在哭泣，而一名地方议员正在安慰他们。

JD·万斯将骚乱归咎于移民美国副总统JD·万斯在法国抗议活动期间将暴力归咎于移民，并在社交媒体X上分享了一段利摩日市政厅被烈火吞噬的视频。“西方自由派在多元和同情的名义下，把第三世界引进法国和其他国家。他们忽视了同化和兼容性的根本问题。他们被告知这会导致这样的后果，但他们没有听从，”万斯在X上写道。
Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility.
“我祈祷法国，一个拥有杰出人民的美丽国家，能够在更多地标被焚毁之前停止这场疯狂，” 他补充道。万斯还将这场动乱与即将到来的美国国会中期选举联系起来，该选举将于11月3日举行。“我希望美国人正在关注。这是国会民主党人为你们国家所追求的未来，” 他说。法国抗议活动演变为暴力冲突数十万法国人在数十个法国城市参加了和平游行。
They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen," Vance wrote on X. "I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn," he added. Vance also linked the unrest to the upcoming US congressional midterm elections on November 3. "And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country," he said. France protests turn violentHundreds of thousands of people took part in peaceful marches across dozens of French cities.
然而，暴力团伙针对公共建筑，洗劫了奢侈品店和超市，并袭击了警车和警员。在马赛，身着黑衣的示威者闯入市政厅并用涂鸦破坏了它。示威者还纵火焚烧了里昂的旅游办公室。内政部长洛朗·努内斯表示，大约55万人参加了法国各地的示威活动。CGT工会估计参与人数达到80万，路透社报道如是。法国总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科尔努表示，大约1200人在此次抗议中被捕。
However, violent groups targeted public buildings, looted luxury shops and supermarkets, and attacked police vehicles and officers. In Marseille, demonstrators dressed in black broke into the town hall and defaced it with graffiti. Protesters also set fire to the tourist office in Lyon. Interior minister Laurent Nunez said around 550,000 people had taken part in demonstrations across France. The CGT union estimated the turnout at 800,000, news agency Reuters reported. French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said around 1,200 people had been arrested during the protests.
示威者坚持认为大多数参与者是和平游行的，将暴力归咎于意图制造损害并与警方冲突的麻烦制造者。许多示威者举着批评警察、总统和富人的标语。在巴黎的部分地区，警方在撤退时向主要由年轻示威者组成的群体发射了催泪瓦斯。许多示威者身穿黑色衣物、连帽衫、口罩和护目镜，以防止催泪瓦斯的伤害。多个城市的抢夺行为在示威期间及之后，一些年轻人群体在城市街道上游走，偶尔与警方发生冲突，纵火并闯入关闭的商店偷窃物品。
Demonstrators maintained that most participants had marched peacefully, blaming the violence on troublemakers who intended to cause damage and clash with police. Many protesters carried placards criticising the police, the president and wealthy people. In parts of Paris, police fired tear gas as they retreated from groups of mostly young protesters. Many demonstrators wore black clothing, hoodies, masks and goggles to protect themselves from tear gas. Looting in several citiesDuring and after the demonstrations, groups of young people moved through city streets, occasionally clashing with police, setting fires and breaking into shuttered shops to steal goods.
巴黎、马赛、尼斯、南特、波尔多、利摩日、里尔、图卢兹和斯特拉斯堡等地的数十家商店遭到洗劫。被袭击的商企包括超市、药店、奢侈品精品店、服装店、眼镜店、化妆品店和消费电子产品零售商。
Dozens of shops were looted across Paris, Marseille, Nice, Nantes, Bordeaux, Limoges, Lille, Toulouse and Strasbourg. The targeted businesses included supermarkets, pharmacies, luxury boutiques, clothing stores, opticians, cosmetic shops and consumer electronics retailers.
法新社报道称，大约六名年轻男子的群体经常以有组织的方式袭击商店。他们戴着口罩和手套，先切断安全摄像头，然后砸碎窗户进入店内。抢劫行为加剧了当天报道的破坏和 vandalism（注：此处保留英文原词，因其为特定语境下的常用表达，但根据指令应译为“破坏行为”），多个城市的市政厅也遭到袭击。抗议活动震动法国。
AFP reported that groups of around six young men often targeted shops in an organised manner. Wearing masks and gloves, they first disconnected security cameras before smashing windows to enter the premises. The looting added to the destruction and vandalism reported during the day, with town halls in several cities also coming under attack. Protests rock FrancePresident Emmanuel Macron's government faces a struggle to address the cost-of-living crisis while bringing France's debt under control.
法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙的政府在努力控制国家债务的同时，面临着应对生活成本危机的挑战。过去两年中，曾因预算计划推翻两位总理的反对派团队一直不愿妥协。法国各地的抗议者响应社交媒体的号召，试图复兴始于2018年、因社会不公问题而爆发的“黄背心”运动。示威者对政府的愤怒和挫败感日益加剧，因为最近几个月汽油、能源和食品价格急剧上涨。
Opposition groups that have toppled two prime ministers over budget plans in the past two years have been reluctant to compromise. Protesters across France responded to calls on social media to revive the "yellow vest" movement, which began in 2018 over concerns about social injustice. Demonstrators expressed growing anger and frustration with the government as petrol, energy and food prices rose sharply in recent months.
勒科尔努表示，政府不会被暴力“吓倒”。他将骚乱归咎于“极左翼”和罪犯，并指出总统大选将于明年举行。他在X平台上写道：“对于那些显然想在总统大选前以这种暴力作为‘热身’的人，我要明确说：我们不会让自己被吓倒。没有人会通过暴力强加他们的政治议程。”马克龙承诺将起诉并惩治责任人。“我们将团结一致，反对那些只想破坏我们的制度、阻止和平表达诉求者正常表达的混乱制造者，”他在X上发文表示。
Lecornu said the government would not be "intimidated" by violence. He blamed the unrest on the "ultra-left" and criminals, with a presidential election due next year." To those who clearly want to use this violence as a 'warm-up' before the presidential election, I say clearly: We will not let ourselves be intimidated. No one will impose their political agenda through violence," he wrote on X.Macron vowed to prosecute and punish those responsible for the attacks. "We will all stand united against the sowers of chaos, who only seek to undermine our institutions and prevent those who peacefully express their demands from doing so," he posted on X.Student groups that have been organising school blockades since mid-September urged their supporters to join the protests.
自九月中旬以来一直组织学校封锁的学生团体呼吁支持者加入抗议活动。法国主要工会之一的CGT也支持此次示威，呼吁“提高工资和养老金，降低物价，保障满足人民需求的公共服务”。该工会称，超过50万人参加了周六的集会。据各机构提供的信息。
The CGT, one of France's major labour unions, also backed the demonstrations, calling for "higher wages and pensions, lower prices and the protection of public services that meet people's needs". The union said more than 500,000 people had joined Saturday's rallies. With inputs from agencies
