\u200bPolice Use Tear Gas as Thousands in Paris Defy Protest Ban<\/strong><\/p>\n

The WSJ reports Police Use Tear Gas as Thousands in Paris Defy Protest Ban<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Violence erupted Saturday between police and several thousand demonstrators who defied a protest ban and marched down the famous Parisian avenue Champs Elys\u00e9es, as the country\u2019s interior minister blamed the far-right for the unrest in the French capital.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On the Champs Elys\u00e9es, some protesters sang the national anthem and waved French flags, while others carried signs urging the president to resign. Some threw stones at police, who responded by firing tear gas and water cannons. At least 130 people were detained across the nation on Saturday, including 42 in Paris, Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mr. Castaner blamed Marine Le Pen, head of the far-right party National Rally, for urging protesters to head to the Champs Elys\u00e9es despite an official ban on demonstrations on the avenue.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWhat justifies the fact that French people can\u2019t protest on the Champs Elys\u00e9es when many other gatherings (World Cup, New Year\u2019s Eve\u2026) happened there?\u201d Ms. Le Pen tweeted on Friday. Ms. Le Pen didn\u2019t attend the protests.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Can’t Afford to Eat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Idir Ghanes, 42, Unemployed computer technician from Paris: We are here to protest against the government because of the rise in taxes [in general], not just petrol taxes, which is the straw that broke the camel\u2019s back.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
