Scuffles Between Protesters And Riot Police For May Day In Toulouse

A woman keeps lily of the valley on her hat. For May Day or Labour Day, between 20 and 30,000 people took to the streets in Toulouse. Trade unionists, people, yellow vests, anarchists and members of political partys came to the demonstration. This year, people are worried of what french president Emmanuel Macon will do during his mandate and after the pensions reform which broke French society. Anger after this reform, after the police violence during protests and in Sainte-soline and after the ban of pans and whistles during protests are the main reasons of the scuffles which happened between protesters and riot police. Riot police launched scores of tear gas canisters and used the water cannon. Several protesters have been injured and others have been arresters. Police decided the end of the protest despite the authorization given by the Prefet. Toulouse. France. May 1st 2023. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
