A car parked on the street was engulfed in a burning flame.
Tear gas filled the streets, and shops and ATMs were destroyed.
There is a fierce struggle between the police and the protesters.
Thousands of people gathered in Paris, the French capital, to protest against the government's new security laws.
[Immanuel/France Teacher: It's hard to put up with seeing all the police around us.
They see us like delinquents.] The
new security law prohibits posting photos of police faces or identities online.
If you violate this, you will have to pay one year imprisonment or a fine of 60 million won.
The government explained that it was a measure for the safety of police officers, but protesters protested that the function of checking public power was weakened and freedom of speech was also violated.

Yet it is forcing others that human rights are important.]
In the protests held simultaneously in Paris, Lyon, and Nantes, an estimated 52,000 police officers participated, and 95 were arrested for violent events.
As public opinion worsened after the second week of protests, Congress belatedly stepped back to revise some of the offending provisions.
However, protesters are demanding that the provision be completely deleted, and confrontation is likely to continue for the time being.
