France: Police protest in Paris for second day in a row as pressure mounts on Hollande

22.10.2016
Hundreds of French police officers took part in the second demonstration in two days to protest against law enforcement and lack of government spending on their department, Paris, Friday.
Embattled French President Francois Hollande said he would meet with the protesters. Hollande's political rivals have criticised his administration for allegedly allowing lawlessness to spread across France, despite a recruitment drive for officers.
The protests were instigated by an incident which saw four police officers injured earlier in October, when their cars were set ablaze by a Molotov cocktail thrown during a riot in Viry-Chatillon, in the southern suburbs of the French capital.
Similar demonstrations also took place in Calais, Lille, Toulon and other French cities.
