More than a thousand law enforcement officers and firefighters were injured in France during two weeks of protests

This was stated by the Minister of the Interior of France Gerald Darmanin in an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche.

"Since March 16, 1093,<> police, gendarmerie and fire department officers have been injured," Darmanen said.

According to him, there were more than 2.5 thousand arson and 316 attacks on public institutions.

On March 28, a rally against the pension reform was held in Paris.

The streets of Paris against the background of mass protests were littered with mountains of garbage. As noted in the city mayor's office on March 27, there were about 7.5 thousand tons of garbage in the queue for removal.

Unrest in the country began after March 16, French Prime Minister Elisabeth Bourne announced the adoption of a law that increases the retirement age from 62 to 64 years. The law was passed bypassing a vote in the lower house of parliament.
