A protest by
French youth against the centrist candidate, Emmanuel Macron and his far-right
rival, Marine Le Pen, turned violent on Thursday, local report said.
The report
stated that hundreds of school students took to the streets of the French
capital saying, “Neither Le Pen nor Macron,” whose projects they said did not
meet their expectations.
It noted that
“on the sidelines of the demonstration, the hooded young people threw
projectiles at riot police who replied by using tear gas to disperse the
crowd.” The local report added that anti-fascist and anti-capitalist rallies
were also reported in Nantes, Toulouse and Rennes. According to vanguard, at the end of the first
round of French elections on Sunday, centrist Macron and anti-immigrant Le Pen
reached the run-off, knocking out traditional right and left parties. In spite
of unstable momentum, Macron is predicted to defeat Le Pen with 59 per cent
against 41 per cent on May 7.
