At least 26 people have been injured as protesters against highly-unpopular labor reforms clashed with police in Paris. Officers deployed tear gas against “hooded hooligans,” while nearly 15 people were arrested, police said.
Tens of thousands of people gathered in the center of the French capital on Tuesday, BFMTV reported.
Clashes took place near Port Royal railway station in Paris. Dozens of people, mostly hooded, threw stones and firecrackers at the security forces, who responded with force to disperse the demonstration.
The staff working at Eiffel Tower announced the closure of the city’s main tourist attraction on Tuesday, saying that they “would join the protest.” They also warned that sites near the landmark will be unsafe as demonstrators are expected to gather there, BFMTV reported.
