A protest rally of thousands began in Paris.
The protesters gathered in the Republic Square and started moving towards the Nation Square.
The demonstrators are protesting against the price increase and violence from the law enforcement authorities. Activists emphasize that one of the main reasons for the operation was the bill that was brought up for discussion in the parliament on the presumption of the legality of the use of weapons by the police.
The head of the French Ministry of the Interior, Laurent Nunes, said the day before that on Saturday there will be about 50-60 demonstrations in the country.
