A total of 106,000 people have participated in protests against rising prices and violence by law enforcement officers in France, CNEWS reports, citing the French Interior Ministry.
Mass demonstrations were organized in various cities across the country on November 14.
The largest protest took place in Paris. According to the ministry's estimates, 24,000 people took to the streets in the capital.
Although most of the demonstration was peaceful, clashes broke out between protesters and police at the end of the march. Law enforcement officers used stun grenades and tear gas to disperse aggressive groups.
Clashes were also reported in other cities during protests held at the call of the "Gilets Jaunes" ("Yellow Vests") movement, as well as student and school student unions. In Nantes, police used water cannons against demonstrators. Clashes between protesters and police also occurred in Bordeaux and Lyon.
It should be noted that mass protests have been ongoing in France since late September. School students have blocked the operation of several schools in protest against the condition of educational institutions, excessive workloads and teacher shortages.
In October, trade unions began protests demanding wage increases and that the government abandon additional austerity measures.
