Police in Toulouse clash with demonstrators as revival of yellow vest movement continues in several citiesFrench police have used tear gas and water cannon to break up a protest by nearly 1,000 yellow vest demonstrators in the south-western city of Toulouse. A group that observes police conduct at gilets jaunes (yellow vest) protests said officers had attacked five of their number during the demonstration, injuring one of them. Earlier this month, a member of the OPP filed a complaint alleging that he had been injured during a police charge at a yellow vest protest. But he was caught short by the “yellow vest” movement which accused the former investment banker of ignoring the day-to-day struggles of many French. Demonstrations have been banned on the Champs-Elysees after protesters clashed with police on the famous Paris avenue on December 8 last year, in the early days of the yellow vest protests.
