A French yellow vest protester sustained what appeared to be a serious hand injury during violent clashes with police on the streets of Paris on Saturday
France's yellow vest protesters were back on the streets Saturday to keep up the pressure on French President Emmanuel Macron's government and to decry the number of people being injured by police during the anti-government demonstrations.
Multiple protests are being held around Paris and other cities, the 11th straight weekend of action prompted by Macron policies seen as favoring the rich.
Erick Simon, 57, who traveled from the Normandy in France to the London rally, says "all European countries must join up in this battle against austerity."
French security forces fired tear gas and flash-bang ammunition at protesters during a march through picturesque central Paris on Saturday as several thousand supporters of the yellow vest movement kept up pressure on President Emmanuel Macron with the first action of 2019.
