France: Tear gas billows in Paris as ‘Yellow Vests’ protest against 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.
