After weeks of protests against rising costs of living, a faltering education system, and police violence, over a hundred thousand people marched through Paris again on Saturday.
Despite media outlets and government efforts to discredit the movement, the “Acte II” march was peaceful until police trapped protestors at Porte de Vincennes in the rain, where they provoked an already angry crowd with tear gas, leading to violent clashes that continued into the night. Stun grenades, tear gas, pepper spray, and water cannons were used by riot police while protesters responded with stones, fireworks, and barricades from nearby construction.
