Clashes erupted in Paris as a mass march drew to a close Saturday, with more than 400,000 people rallying across France over school funding and soaring living costs in a fresh challenge to President Emmanuel Macron’s government.
巴黎游行起初进行得很平静,一周前,全国各地的抗议活动曾演变成大规模骚乱和抢劫。在靠近文森城门终点附近,部分示威者投掷杂物,警方随即发射数轮催泪弹并使用水炮驱散人群。

It won’t stop students from demanding better conditions in schools.”In Marseille, police put attendance at 17,000, while the CGT union estimated 100,000.
