More than 200 detainees and 175 police officers injured after a new day of protests in France

MADRID, 29 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The protests in France against the pension reform approved by the president, Emmanuel Macron, have resulted on Tuesday with 201 arrests throughout the country and 175 police officers injured, as confirmed by the country's Interior Minister, Gérald Darmanin.

Through a message on his Twitter account, Darmanin thanked the 13,000 agents who mobilized to control this tenth day of protests, which brought together 740,000 people according to the authorities and more than two million according to unions, reports 'Le Monde'.

The deputy spokesman for the US State Department, Vedant Patel, when asked about the protests on Tuesday, affirmed that the United States respects the right to peaceful protest of all citizens, but has reiterated that "it is never appropriate to take violent action". .

In an attempt to mediate so that there is no eleventh call for a general strike, the French Prime Minister, Élisabeth Borne, has invited the inter-union to a meeting.

"We collectively think that we must go there to make our proposals heard," explained the general secretary of the French Democratic Confederation of Labor (CFDT), Laurent Berger, has reported the newspaper 'Le Parisien'.

Despite this, the inter-union has called another day of general strike for Thursday, April 6 due to "the lack of response from the Executive", something that, in the opinion of the main French unions, "leads to a situation of tensions".
