Thousands of “yellow vest” protesters took part in a fresh round of nationwide demonstrations against President Emmanuel Macron's fiscal and economic roadmap on December 1. In Paris, police said they had arrested almost 300 people while nearly 100 were injured. In some areas, groups of masked men roamed freely, smashing properties, burning cars and vandalizing banks. Police fired stun grenades, tear gas and water cannons at protesters. More than a dozen metro stations were closed.
