Police Use Tear Gas During Yellow Vests Protest in Paris
PARIS (Sputnik) - Police have used tear gas against demonstrators in the French capital who participated in rallies marking the fourth anniversary of the start of the so-called Yellow Vests protests in France.
The Yellow Vests weekly protests started in France on November 17, 2018, in response to bad economic conditions and rising fuel prices. On Saturday, protesters gathered in Paris demanding social and tax justice, higher wages and pensions amid skyrocketing inflation, as well as lower prices for essential goods and energy.
Videos circulating on social media show police pushing back the demonstrators in Paris on Saturday, using tear gas and batons against the protesters.
Last week, nationwide strikes initiated by the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) union resulted in severe transport disruptions in Paris and other major French cities. Demonstrators included workers from such sectors as transport, education, healthcare, energy, trade and manufacturing, as well as supporters of the Yellow Vests movement.
Tear gas is banned for use in warfare by the Geneva Protocol of 1925. Despite this, it is often used by governments to quell protests domestically.
