There is no doubt that many came to exercise their lawful right to protest, but there were many who came intent on violence,

The 'block everything' movement in France has seen a day of demos, strikes and blockades - some of them violent. The Bloquons Tout movement was called for September 10th to protest against Emmanuel Macron's government, especially the cost-cutting budget plans. The movement began on the internet and does not have formal leadership or links with political parties - although some of France's leftist politicians have endorsed it, while some unions are taking strike action in support of the movement.
