France's 'Yellow Vests' Clash With Police In Paris For 4th Consecutive Week

Description

According to a report by Reuters, on Saturday, anti-government protestors faced off with French riot police, hurling projectiles, torching cars, and vandalizing businesses in a fourth straight week of unrest. Authorities estimate that 8,000 protestors gathered in Paris around mid-day, while some 90,000 across the country. 50 people were reportedly injured, including three police officers. Reuters reports that earlier this week the government canceled a planned rise in taxes on petrol and diesel in a bid to defuse the situation, however protests appear to have transformed into a broader anti-Macron rebellion.
