Again violence in Paris, 287 protesters are arrested

The anti-government demonstration in the French capital the previous day ended with the arrest of 287 people and the wounding of 110 others, including a number of police mobilised for the protests.

About 75 thousand citizens in the ranks of the yellow <x0-cells” came out in slogans against rising fuel tax and high living costs.

A more violent group set fire to at least 190 objects, cars, and shops.

There are three protests, police forces used tear gas to respond to attacks by protesters and other strong items.

French President Emmanuel Macron, present at the G20 summit with other world leaders, accused protesters of seeking to bring chaos to the country, while added that there is no reason to justify the violence of the last days.

Saturday's protests drew less demonstrators compared to past weeks.

They first started in the rural part of France, where citizens complained that fuel tax was an urban luxury they could not afford.

But since then, the yellow <x0-seconds have turned into a movement that expresses disagreement with much of the state head's Macron policies.

At this month's gatherings, two people have been killed and hundreds more injured.

Polls, meanwhile, show that 2 out of 3 French support the protests.
