Clashes erupted between riot police and protesters during a march against proposed labour reforms in Nantes, Wednesday.
Riot police fired tear gas to disperse approximately 700 to 800 protesters who demonstrated against the controversial labour reforms. Protesters set rubbish bins on fire and many threw projectiles at the police. Several arrests were reportedly made.
Commonly referred to as the 'El Khomri law' after French Labour Minister Myriam El Khomri, the reforms will look at almost all aspects of France's labour laws; maximum working hours, holidays and breaks, among other areas will be open to negotiation as the government attempts to liberalise France's labour market. French President Francois Hollande is said to be attempting to lower the country's unemployment rate below 10 percent.
