Police face protesters in Nantes as ‘yellow vest’ marches resume

NANTES — Hundreds of demonstrators faced police in a tense stand-off in the French city of Nantes on Saturday as revived “yellow vest” protests against the government of President Emmanuel Macron took place across the country.

Police responded with tear gas after some protesters threw projectiles. A spokesman with the local prefecture said 21 people had been arrested.

Television footage showed groups of black-clad protesters trying to break into shops, while police trucks carrying water cannon were seen arriving on scene.

Tasnim is Iranian news but honestly, this story came up in a search, I think Nantes in the North of the country in or near the Normany area has been reported to have quite a few protests this day.
