France: Police fire tear gas as student demo escalates in Lyon

Police used tear gas against students protesting over French President Emmanuel Macron’s educational reforms, in Lyon on Friday.

According to local media, dozens of protesters were arrested.

A wave of demonstrations has hit France in recent weeks, initially at Macron’s plans to raise petrol prices, which have snowballed to encompass a variety of issues such as the wealth gap, living conditions and other planned reforms.
