The third consecutive Saturday of protests jointly organised by students and syndicates around the country was marked by heavy police suppression and violence. Despite government efforts to stifle the movement via bans and multiple route changes the day before, hundreds of thousands once again marched on the outskirts of Paris before being stopped and tear gassed. The subsequent four hours of violence saw molotov cocktails, pepper spray, clouds of tear gas, rocks, fireworks, and stun grenades as many were injured and arrested.
