Yellow vests organized a new protest action, which coincided with the main national holiday of France – Bastille Day.
After the official events, which were held this year in conditions of sanitary restrictions due to coronavirus, a rally began in Paris to raise medical workers’ salaries and improve the funding of hospitals in the coronavirus pandemic.
At the very end of the rally, which at first took place peacefully, riots began.
After reaching from Republic Square to Bastille Square, some radical protesters began smashing shops and cafes and throwing stones and bottles at police stations. In response, they used tear gas.
