PARIS - Yellow vest protesters clashed with riot police in Paris and the northern city of Amiens on Saturday as the French anti-government movement waned on its 28th straight weekend.
Police in Amiens, hometown of President Emmanuel Macron, fired teargas at about 1,200 demonstrators after a group pelted stones at police, attacked local bank branches and set fire to rubbish cans, the local police chief’s office said.A few hundred protesters also clashed with police in downtown Paris, in and around the Place de la Republique.
Around the country only 12,500 demonstrators took to the streets during the latest day of protests, the lowest turnout since the movement started, the French interior ministry said. At the peak in November more than 300,000 were taking part nationally. Despite Macron’s swift reversal of the tax hikes and introduction of other measures worth more than 10 billion euros to boost the purchasing power of lower-income voters, protests and riots continued all over the country.
