’Radical elements’ disrupt peaceful Paris pensions protest • RFI English

The hardline CGT union said 500,000 people marched through Paris, where police intervened after some protesters damaged buildings and set fire to a car. For the most part the protests were festive, though Paris police who were pelted with projectiles fired tear gas in response. Authorities blamed “radical elements“ within the otherwise peaceful march. 🔔 Subscribe to our channel now: 🌍 Get all the news from around the world live: Join us on Facebook: Follow us on Twitter: See the news in pictures on Instagram:
