French police use tear gas, pepper spray at Paris anti-far right protest
French police fired tear gas and used pepper spray on demonstrators marching in capital Paris on Saturday (April 16) against the far right.
Thousands of anti-far right protesters marched across France on Saturday as opponents of far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen seek to form a united front to prevent her from winning an election runoff against incumbent Emmanuel Macron on April 24.
Police warned of possible incidents as demonstrators convene in some 30 cities. Macron, a pro-European Union centrist, won the presidency in 2017 after easily beating Le Pen when voters rallied behind him in the runoff to keep her far-right party out of power.
This year, the first round of voting last Sunday set up the same battle, but Macron is facing a much tougher challenge.
