The French minister expressed his solidarity with the 175 security forces injured in the protests.

THE SHOWS CONTINUE FROM MARCH 16

Demonstrations in France, which began on March 16, continue after the government’s decision to pass the bill, which includes raising the retirement age by 2 years, from 62 to 64, without a vote.

Violence is taking place in many parts of the country between protesters and the police, who have violently intervened in the demonstrations.

More than 1,000 people have been detained in protests across the country since March 16.

In the previous 9 mass demonstrations, millions of people took to the streets. (AA)
