Protests and riots in France: police charges in several cities and more than a hundred arrested

The French security forces have already arrested 135 people this Saturday during a new day of demonstrations that have brought together at least 35,000 people in the streets of the country's main cities. Paris, Marseille, Nantes... demonstrations and protests have once again shaken the main cities of France this Saturday and the French authorities have mobilized a large number of police officers to prevent major incidents from occurring.

Among others, the city of Lyon has witnessed the first moments of tension of the day between protesters and law enforcement, who have resorted to tear gas to disperse various groups of people, in a context marked by restrictions on demonstrations. In fact, although some union marches have been allowed in some cities, mobilizations have been prohibited in cities such as Nancy, Belfort, Rouen, Le Havre, Toulon and Limoges, whose town hall was destroyed in a fire last weekend.
