Violent clashes broke out in Nantes after the May 1 parade. At least 14 people were arrested, according to the police.
A 37-year-old man was wounded in the lower abdomen by a LBD. The demonstration was one of the largest in France since the start of the protests in 2011. It was organized by the French Communist Party (PCC) to protest against the French government's austerity measures. The PCC has called for an end to the austerity measures by the end of the year.
