Employees and students protest in France against the reform of labor relations
Determined to ensure the withdrawal of "unacceptable" the draft reform of labor relations, tens of thousands of workers and students went again today in the streets of Paris and in dozens of other cities in France after calling seven unions, for the fourth time in two months and some days before the discussion of the bill in the National Assembly.
This day is a test for the determination of opposing this last major reform of the five year term of Socialist President Francois Hollande, a year before the presidential elections that bode particularly difficult for the ruling left. And some expect a convergence with the unofficial citizens' movement "Nuit Debout" (Overnight) occupied by 31 March each evening Square of the Republic in Paris.
The current mobilization takes place amid tense climate, as the previous days had been attacks on the sidelines of demonstrations, despite a significant deployment of the order under the state of emergency imposed in France after the attacks of November.
Clashes between protesters and forces of order occurred late in the morning in Nantes (western France), shortly after the start of a process in which participated 8-9000 people, according to police, more than 20,000, according to the organizers. Police used tear gas.
The demonstration in Paris started at 15:00 GMT. Expected to cross the southeastern part of the city, but the authorities expect that some protesters gathered then in the Republic Square.
At Orly airport of the capital, the second largest in France, airlines had been warned to cut 20% of the flights, although the movement is conducted mostly normal in most airport Charles de Gaulle, north of Paris.
