At least 22 people were arrested during the protests in Paris, the province told BMFTV.
The situation was particularly acute in the Place de la Nation, where an aggressive crowd surrounded a gendarme department and chased him. In the footage, protesters are seen throwing smoke firecrackers at the police. As a result, the police had to retreat under the pressure of an outnumbered crowd.
Up to 200,000 people took to the streets throughout the country, dissatisfied with the price increase and Macron's policies.
