Yellow Vests protests in France: arrests, clashes with the police

In France, the 23rd manifestation of the "yellow vests" took place. The fire at Notre Dame did not become a reason to cancel the weekly campaigns that supporters of the movement hold on Saturdays. However, the "yellow vests" were banned from holding meetings in the area of the Notre Dame de Paris.
