The Paris police detained 24 people as a result of a clash with "yellow vests”, Reuters reported.

The protesters clashed with police firing tear gas and water canon and turning the Champs Elysees into a battle zone.

The protests have been unfolded since November 17 against fuel price rises. Over 100 thousand people were participating in protests. The next action is scheduled for December 1.

French President Emmanuel Macron has already said that the authorities understand the concerns of people, but will not change course. According to him, there are plans to increase the cost of renewable energy and reduce the share of atomic energy by 50% by 2035.
