Violent protests against internal security laws have erupted in France. According to a foreign news agency, thousands of people took to the streets on Saturday in defiance of government rules and clashed with police in several places. Angry protesters also set fire to several cars vandalized several shops in the protests against police violence.
Details released by the French news agency said thousands of people took to the streets of Paris to protest. Most of them were dressed in black and had veils over their faces. Protesters chanted slogans against the French police's crackdown and President McKeown's security policy.
Many of the protesters were carrying banners and several had hammers, which they vandalized after clashes broke out with police.
To control the protesters, police used tear gas excessively. Angry protesters vandalized several shops and set fire to several vehicles and property.
It is noteworthy that the wave of protests against the laws introduced by President McKeown to provide protection to the police is intensifying in France.
The law, recently introduced in the French parliament, introduces restrictions on the sharing or dissemination of photos of police officers on social media, and is intended to protect police officers.
On the other hand, protesters calling the laws an attack on personal freedoms say that President McKeown and his government are promoting freedom of expression to others but are imposing restrictions on it in their own country.
Protesters say police use brutality every day under the guise of enforcing the law. Last month, Michael Zeckler, a black musician, was subjected to racial hatred and violence by police, sparking a new wave of anti-police protests and violence after CCTV footage became public.
There is growing unrest in France against the policies of President McKeown's government. McKeown and his government are already under fire for discriminating against the Muslim population, legislation, and rhetoric.
