Not analysed for framing
More than 270 people were arrested across France on Saturday as protests over rising living costs turned violent. Cars were set ablaze, shops looted, and police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse crowds. Videos from Paris showed protesters climbing a statue to unfurl an anti-police banner, burnt-out vehicles near a major protest square and officers charging demonstrators with batons as the “yellow vest” movement returned to the streets.
France's interior ministry reported “a growing number of violent incidents” across the country, including assaults on police officers, looting and damage to public buildings. Several people were injured in clashes.
