PARIS: Protesters attacked shop windows and cash dispensers in the east of Paris on Thursday, a Paris police spokeswoman said.
"There are 300 people currently causing very important
damage," the spokeswoman said, adding that a police operation was under
way but no arrests had been made yet.
Several unauthorised marches have been taking place in Paris over the
past two weeks on the sidelines of the occupation by left-wing and
anarchist young people of the city's 'Place de la Republique', a vast
square in the east of the French capital.
Earlier on Thursday, dozens were arrested after clashing
with police at the margins of a rally protesting controversial labour
reform plans.
The "Nuit Debout" or "Up all Night" movement began on March. 31 when a
group of activists decided not to go home after a march against a
proposed labour reform.
