May Day marchers clash with police as riots break out in Paris

Police fired tear gas to push back black-clad anarchists who ransacked business premises in the French capital Paris on Sunday (May 1) during May Day protests against the policies of newly re-elected President Emmanuel Macron.

Protesters hurled objects and threw tear gas at riot police, as shop windows were broken and walls vandalised. Thick plumes of smoke rose from the streets as tear gas canisters exploded.

Clashes with police broke out at the start of the march near La Republique Square and when it reached La Nation Square in eastern Paris.

About 250 rallies were organised in Paris and other cities including Lille, Nantes, Toulouse and Marseille. In the capital, trade unionists were joined by political figures - mostly from the left - and climate activists.
