There were also clashes near the Champs-Elysées, which the authorities had closed to traffic to facilitate a possible celebration while maintaining the security distances required to prevent the transmission of the coronavirus. In the surroundings of that avenue, violent protesters set vehicles on fire, trashed storefronts and stoleed. Interior Minister Gérarld Darmanin denounced on the social network Twitter the “savagery of some” that caused 16 agents to be injured, property damage in 12 establishments and the burning of a fortnight of vehicles.
