Riots in Paris, France

[mogster]

From Place de Nation in Paris.

The streets were filled, more than 3 hundred thousand youth and union people demonstrated against the new law, Contrat Première Embauche, that enables companies employing youth to fire them without regards for the usual worker's rights.
166 was arrested, 7 police and a number of demonstrators was hurt in the clash.
Mostly the demonstrators was peaceful, but small groups challenged the police and set fire to cars and smashed shop windows.

During the weekend the numbers of demonstrators has been calculated to be as high as 1,5 million all over France.
