“Macron resign!” and “Macron is going to break down, we are going to win”, demonstrators chanted on the Place d’Italie in southern Paris. Riot police used teargas and clashed with some in the crowd as trash bins were set on fire. BFM television also showed images of demonstrations under way in Compiegne in the north, Nantes in the west and Marseille in the south. In Bordeaux, in the southwest, police used teargas against protesters who had started a fire.
