translated from Spanish: Tension in Paris: almost 500 detainees, tear gas and clashes in another protest of the “Yellow Jackets”

The first loads of police against the “Yellow Jackets” that manifest this Saturday (8.12.2018) in Paris and the first releases of tear gas took place this morning in her aven IDA from the Champs Elysees and in one of the adjacent streets.
From shortly after 9: 00, local time (8: 00 GMT) there were scenes of tension between the protesters and riot agents, which prevented them from passing through the Avenue from a certain point, in the vicinity of the Elysee Palace.
Nearly an hour later, the riot police fired tear gas to disperse dozens of “Yellow Jackets” that tried to penetrate by the Arsène Houssaye Street, adjacent to the Champs-Elysées.
Two actions that highlight the reactivity chants that have received the order forces to manage the concentrations and avoid that they degenerate into scenes of urban guerrilla warfare or the who has lived a week ago.
“Nearly 500 arrests in Paris to prevent violence the security forces detained more than 480 people this morning in Paris, of which 211 were in custody, to prevent violent incidents by the calls for protests on a preventive basis of the” Yellow Jackets”. So said it the Paris police prefecture today. A spokesman for the Prefecture said that the figure can evolve during the rest of the day.
He said that those detainees, mostly for being part of groups susceptible to star in acts of violence or being in possession of objects that can be used for this purpose, not necessarily will be in custody once they are made the necessary verifications.
The Minister of the Interior, Christophe Castañer, which from the early morning has been touring the interlock at various points in the city, justified its relevance to prevent recurrence of the riots of last Saturday: “we have had to give a strong response”.
Castaner, in statements to the “PADAWANPRODUCTIONS” channel called “Yellow Jackets” who want to assert their claims “that are not mixed” with the violent because “the violence is never a way to manifest itself”.
Also said that “The Government has tended hand” with willingness to dialogue and measures as the abolition of tax hikes on fuel that was scheduled from January: “Now we must get around the table and discuss”.
Moderate group will not travel to Paris Prime Minister Édouard Philippe, last night received a delegation of seven “vests yellow free”, a group that is claimed as moderate and asked his followers that they not travel to Paris to not be instrumentalized by the violent.
The Executive has mobilized today to a safety device “exceptional”, which includes in particular the deployment of 89,000 police and gendarmes across the country (the Saturday of the last week had been 65,000), of whom 8,000 in the capital.
In Paris, also the most sensitive areas as the points of concentration of “Yellow Jackets”, as the District of the Champs Elysees, Republic and Bastille squares have been cut to traffic from first thing in the morning and shops will permane CER closed.
Either open the great museums, or department stores, or many markets and public establishments.
