Smentita Hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated across France on Saturday in protests that were largely peaceful.
IA The headline in several results supports the core claim that hundreds of thousands protested across France. However, the first result explicitly describes the Saturday protests as ending in tear gas, looting, fires and about 400 arrests, which conflicts with the claim that they were largely peaceful. All results repeat the same headline and wording, so they likely share one original report.

Smentita Fourteen other officers sustained wounds ranging from minor to serious during the weekend protests, according to the injured officer.
IA The AP report says 13 police and gendarmerie officers were injured in total, and AFP says the gendarmerie reported 13 members of the injured officer's unit were hurt. Both figures are incompatible with fourteen other injured officers.

Confermata Prosecutors in France launched an attempted murder investigation after petrol bombs were thrown at police during unrest.
IA Several results (ABC News, Al Jazeera, The Straits Times, TheJournal.ie, RTÉ) report that French prosecutors opened an 'attempted murder' investigation after petrol bombs or explosive devices were thrown at police and gendarmes during weekend protests in Paris. The core of the claim is supported, though most reports appear to repeat the same AFP-sourced prosecutor statement, and the results differ slightly on whether the attack was on 31 October or 1 November.

Confermata A police officer had his leg set on fire during a clash with protesters in Paris on Saturday, as shown in an image.
IA Multiple results report that a French police officer was set on fire during Saturday (31 October 2026) protests in Paris. The AFP result says the officer's leg caught fire, and Metro and the NY Post carry photos of a partly burning gendarme, which covers the image part of the claim. The sources do not all trace to one original report, but the AFP and Metro results are consistent on the core facts.

Confermata Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said throwing a molotov cocktail at a police line was "what I call a murder attempt".
IA A CNews report on the 31 October mobilisation quotes Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez at a press briefing saying that throwing a Molotov cocktail at a police barrier is 'what I call a murder attempt' ("j'appelle ça une tentative de meurtre"), which matches the claim. This rests on a single media report rather than a primary transcript, and no other result was checked against it.

Non verificata The officer suffered burns to his ankle and minor injuries to his hand.
IA None of the search results describe an officer with burns to the ankle or minor hand injuries. The New Yorker snippet mentions injuries from police batons and explosions in Paris in 1968, but it does not address this specific officer or these injuries, and the other results are unrelated.
-
Non verificata The French interior ministry said there were more than 770 arrests on Saturday, roughly half as many as at the previous week's protests.
IA Al Jazeera and AFP both report that the interior ministry said more than 770 people were arrested across France, which matches the claim's figure. However, CGTN reports 1,314 arrests in weekend protests attributed to the ministry, and no result addresses the claim's comparison that this was roughly half the previous week's arrests or specifies that the figure applied to Saturday.

Non verificata Police said no one had been arrested for the attack caught on camera that set a police officer on fire.
IA The results mention a Molotov attack on police and an attempted murder probe in Paris, and a large number of nationwide arrests, but none says whether anyone was or was not arrested for the specific attack on the officer caught on camera. The silence is not a contradiction, so the claim cannot be confirmed or refuted from these results.
