Molotov cocktails & teargas: Anti-labor reform protesters clash with police in Paris

Police have deployed tear gas against anti-labor reform protesters in Paris in response to demonstrators throwing Molotov cocktails and firecrackers.
The demonstration against highly-unpopular labor reform has gathered in Place Denfert-Rochereau in the center of Paris.
About 3pm local time an RT France correspondent was caught in a violent confrontation between police and protesters at the Boulevard Montparnasse in Paris. The protesters were hurling firecrackers and Molotov cocktails at national police, who responded with grenades.
The rally takes place ahead of the meeting of the National Assembly, in which President Francois Hollande and his government face a no-confidence vote after forcing the bill through the lower house of parliament without a vote.
Passing the bill by decree came after the French government resorted to a controversial Article in the Constitution on Tuesday in a bid to override parliament’s vote on labor reform.
