27 arrested in Paris clashes over labor law
Print Edition
FRENCH riot police arrested 27 people during overnight clashes with dozens of youths in central Paris, following a day of protest marches over labor law reforms that turned violent.
Some opposition lawmakers and police union representatives urged a government crackdown on demonstrations and said it was time for an outright ban on the daily, mostly peaceful, youth protests at the site of Thursday night’s skirmishes.
The latest trouble erupted when police moved in to clear a group of about 150 youths from the Place de la Republique square in the early hours of the morning. Cars were set ablaze and projectiles were hurled at officers. Twenty-four of the 27 arrested were held in custody, police said.
“These are largely people coming looking for a fight,” Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said.
The unrest comes at a time police forces and soldiers are working overtime to ensure security in the wake of last November’s deadly militant attacks on the capital.
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets country-wide on Thursday to protest against labor law reforms aimed at making firing easier.
