French police deployed tear gas after thousands of “yellow vest” activists converged on the the Champs \u00c9lys\u00e9es for a third week of protests against President Emmanuel Macron and his government.\u00a0Over 122 arrests have been made.<\/p>\n

Chanting “On the way to Macron’s resignation,” the protesters were hit with tear gas as riot police struggled to contain Saturday’s violence, which saw cars set on fire, paint thrown on officers, and several injuries. Protesters attempted to breach barricades blocking the path to the presidential palace on Saturday morning;\u00a0“lighting fires, throwing rocks and spraying police officers with vivid yellow paint.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
