Police detained dozens of 'Yellow Vest' protesters in Paris on Saturday, as demonstrations returned to the French capital for the fifth consecutive weekend.
A protester had to be carried away for the treatment of a head injury, as police deployed tear gas to disperse the crowd.
According to local media, at least 82 people have been detained since the beginning of the day.
"Gilets Jaunes" protests entered their fifth week as continued civil unrest across France have forced the government into making multiple concessions. The ‘Yellow Vest’ protests were initially motivated by the announcement of fuel tax hikes, but the movement has evolved into an expression of general anger at high costs of living, poverty and inequality in the country.
