France: "We've seen extremely high tensions between protesters and law enforcement"
France 24 [en] · western europe
Protesters across France called for street demonstrations on Saturday against rising living costs. France 24's Antonia Kerrigan reports from Paris. "The march from here to Place de Clichy isn't set to start for another hour. However, we've seen it kicking off extremely early doors. It seems that what's happened is that police attempted to block the protesters from reaching Place de la République, and we saw the use of tear gas. We've seen people running with their masks on. We also saw the use of stun grenades."
