French police clash with anti-government protesters seeking to inject fresh momentum into demonstrations calling for social justice and the ouster of President Emmanuel Macron
Protesters face French anti-riot police officers during an anti-government demonstration called by the"Yellow Vests" movement on September 7, 2019 in Montpellier, southern France.
During clashes between police and protesters, officers fired tear gas to try to disperse the crowd and a firebomb wrecked an unoccupied police car. Jacques Witkowski, the prefect for the Herault region, which covers Montpellier, condemned the "very aggressive behaviour" of the Black Bloc activists who he said had come to the protest determined to smash things.
Police said 650 people turned out in the northern city of Lille — organisers put the figure at 1,500 — in a march that passed off peacefully.
