France: Clashes as anti-fascists lead migrants across French-Italian border

Antifascists clashed with gendarmerie near the village of Claviere on the Frano-Italian border on Sunday, as they reportedly led an estimated 30 migrants from one country to the other. The march was held following the construction of a makeshift anti-immigration border the day before.
Demonstrators made their way along the roads, breaking through a gendarmerie blockade and continuing on their journey towards a migrants shelter in the French commune of Briancon.
The protest was in response to the construction of a fence by members of the far-right 'Generation Identitaire' movement the day before. Activists had built the barrier on the French-Italian border near Col d'Echelle on Saturday, in a bid to block migrants from reaching France.
The new 'border' was built by Generation Identity members hailing from France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Austria and Great Britain.
