A wave of unrest has reached Switzerland: protesters staged pogroms in Zurich. Last night, several hundred people took to the streets of the city. The protesters set up burning barricades, set fire to garbage containers, electric scooters and cars, and threw stones, bottles and pyrotechnics at the police. The police used water cannons, tear gas and rubber bullets. During the unrest, shop windows were broken and damage was caused to the public transport infrastructure. According to the local authorities, calls for demonstrations appeared against the background of the recent events in France.
