Fresh clashes between protesters and riot police have erupted in the French capital. Sunday’s march of trade unions and students protesting against labor reforms proposed by the French government coincided with International Worker’s Day.

While people were demonstrating in the streets in a traditional May Day parade, sporadic clashes with police erupted, according to RT France’s correspondent reporting from the scene.

Police deployed tear gas to disperse some particularly hostile demonstrators.

France, including its capital city, has seen a wave of violent protests recently, as thousands of people take to the streets to demonstrate against labor reforms. This week, security forces clashed with protesters in Paris, Nantes, Lyon, Rennes, and other cities. Police have detained a number of people.
