‘Yellow Vest’ Protesters, Police Clash In Renewed Demonstration Across France
Protesters face French anti-riot police officers during an anti-government demonstration called by the “Yellow Vests” movement on September 7, 2019 in Montpellier, southern France. Pascal GUYOT / AFPFrench police clashed Saturday with anti-government protesters seeking to inject fresh momentum into demonstrations calling for social justice and the ouster of President Emmanuel Macron.
During clashes between police and protesters, officers fired tear gas to try to disperse the crowd and a firebomb wrecked an unoccupied police car. Several storefronts were vandalised and police said seven people had been detained. But smaller rallies took place in other cities around France, including Paris, Marseille, Rouen, Lille, Strasbourg, Dijon and Toulouse.
“We’re all together, we want the government to drastically change its policies… and radical change can only come when this government resigns,” said Alexandre Chantry, a yellow vest organiser in Lille.
