About 1,000 people have been taken into custody in France after violent clashes during nationwide protests over living costs and education conditions, Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said. The protests drew 410,000 people, according to the Interior Ministry, while unions put the figure at 800,000. In the second week of unrest, tens of thousands of police were deployed, with roughly 70,000 officers assigned to prevent a repeat of last week’s looting and attacks. In cities including Paris, Marseille, Bordeaux and Lyon, disturbances broke out later in the day after largely peaceful demonstrations earlier on. In Paris, protesters marched from Porte d’Italie toward Porte de Vincennes, then fought with riot police. Some demonstrators set up barricades and threw objects at police. Officers responded with tear gas and water cannon. Special police units, usually used in organized crime and counterterrorism work, were also deployed. Nunez said that a few thousand radical activists gathered at the back of the march, and around 500 of them were identified as involved in violence. Marseille saw trash containers set on fire and roads blocked with metal sheets. In Bordeaux, people dressed in black with faces covered removed wooden boards from a building to build street barricades. In Lyon, police used tear gas against a crowd that gathered in an area closed off by local authorities. A protester said the group included mostly high school and university students, about 150 people, before tear gas was used almost immediately. Nunez said one person each was seriously injured in Toulouse and Clermont-Ferrand. Authorities reported that compared with the previous week, looting and destruction were more limited. The investigation status is ongoing as more arrests are expected, with roughly 1,000 already detained.
