Clashes between protesters and the police are taking place in several cities in France.
Tens of thousands of people came to the rallies, local media write. The streets of Bordeaux are filled with tear gas, in Marseille they throw garbage at the police, in Paris the security forces beat people with batons.
The French are not happy with the price increase; They criticize the budget policy of Macron, who in recent years has called for moving Europe to a "war economy".
