Republic Square has always been a regular gathering place for protests, and it was also the scene of large-scale police-citizen clashes and looting on the 17th.

The Paris police department said that this latest demonstration had not been authorized, and that police had carried out checks and deployed security personnel to quickly intervene if necessary.

"At the first signs of tension," police said, they immediately took action to disperse people and make arrests.

A total of 855 people were arrested by the Paris authorities during the chaos when fierce clashes broke out on the 17th and many buildings and shops were looted and set on fire.

Television footage showed that the police fired tear gas for the first time on the 18th in Republic Square to drive away the gathered people, but the protesters later returned to the scene. Agence France-Presse pointed out that some people at the scene threw bottles and stones at the security forces, and security personnel responded with tear gas and shock bombs.

The police then launched a charge against the crowd in an attempt to disperse the crowd, and many people were arrested at the scene.

Protesters stretched banners around the statue in the center of the square to protest against the rising cost of living. Many people at the scene were dressed in black, and some were wearing masks.
