Anti-government protesters faced off with French riot police in Paris on Saturday, hurling projectiles, torching cars and vandalising shops and restaurants in a fourth weekend of unrest that has shaken President Emmanuel Macron's authority.
Police used tear gas, water cannon and horses to charge protesters on roads fanning out from the Champs Elysees Boulevard, but encountered less violence than a week ago, when the capital witnessed its worst unrest since the 1968 student riots.
French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said there had been about 10,000 protesters in Paris by early evening and some 125,000 across the country. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
