May Day street clashes in Paris fuelled by widening anti-Macron coalition

FRANCE LABOR DAY PROTEST

A widening anti-Macron coalition of yellow vests, black block anarchists, members of the far-right National Front, trade unionists, feminist activists and anti-climate change marchers joined some 230 protests across France today to mark the traditional May celebration of labour. And violence did flare with police making liberal use of tear gas and rubber-pellet-spreading "sting" grenades in an effort to quell the minority of troublemakers who threw stones, overturned cars and erected flaming barricades in the streets. By early evening local time, authorities had made more than 250 arrests, and carried out almost 13,000 "preventive searches" of people and cars.
