Frankreich und Italien: Ausschreitungen bei Protesten – Mindestens 1000 Festnahmen
70.000 Sicherheitskräfte sind in Frankreich im Einsatz. In Paris kam es zu vereinzelten Ausschreitungen, auch in Italien eskalierten Proteste. Die Behörden reagieren mit einem Großaufgebot.
Paris. The day's protest, largely peaceful at its start, saw tensions escalate in the evening. France's Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez had warned of heavy riots the previous week, deploying an extensive security force. A force of 70,000 police officers and gendarmes was on standby, ready to deploy water cannons and armored vehicles.
In Paris, the union-organized march, diverted away from the city center, commenced peacefully, with participants of all ages advocating for a range of demands, such as better school equipment and lower living costs. As the demonstration concluded, the situation deteriorated. Images showed clouds of tear gas, fireworks, and the use of water cannons.
In televised footage, the sounds of explosions could be heard, and a fire was burning in a trash can. The Paris Police Prefecture announced on the X platform that rioters had attempted to break into a car dealership at the demonstration's end. The swift intervention of law enforcement prevented this, officials claimed.
