Paris: Tear gas billows as ‘Yellow Vests’ protest against President Macron
Clashes continued between police and protesters, after ‘Yellow Vest’ demonstrators hit the streets of Paris for the eighth week in a row on Saturday.
The Yellow Vest movement emerged after French President Emmanuel Macron announced a fuel tax hike to encourage a transition towards greener energy.
The French government has now suspended the price hikes but the protests continue nevertheless.
