This comes at a time when on 1 May, France's Yellow Vests protesters took to the streets of Paris along with labour unions, pensioners, students and other citizens to mark International Workers' Day.

At the same time, the event was attended by the representatives of the so-called 'black block' movement who displayed particularly aggressive behaviour during the recent rally, reportedly throwing glass bottles and beer cans, aiming at the law enforcers.
