Police detained more than 1,000 people in France after violent protests spread from day-time marches into street clashes at night, according to the French interior minister. The unrest hit multiple cities. In Paris, police used tear gas and water cannons after masked protesters threw objects and fireworks at forces of order. A spokesman from the Associated Press described how, for more than an hour after dark, demonstrators attacked from inside a sealed-off area, while police responded with tear gas and stun grenades. Police helicopters were reported flying over the area as crowds were contained. French interior minister Laurent Nunez said internal security forces faced an “extremely high” level of violence and that the number of arrests would rise as data is updated. He said they were close to 1,000 detentions at the time of his comments. In Italy, authorities detained more than 500 people, including 110 minors, during a day of hundreds of protests. Some gatherings were disrupted by major security measures, including in Milan, after the weekend’s events. Clashes were reported in other locations, including Bologna and Turin, where water cannons were used. In Albania, thousands attended a new anti-government rally in Tirana. The demonstration turned into confrontations after a group of protesters threw stones at the Ministry of Education building. Police used tear gas to disperse the crowd, and the protest movement has already lasted more than 130 days. France imposed traffic restrictions following the violent protests. In Italy, authorities were on alert during the day as protests continued across multiple regions. The latest status is that police have made mass detentions in France and Italy, while clashes and dispersal actions were reported in Tirana. No charges, court outcomes, or trial dates were provided.
