STORYLINE:
Protesters hit France with transport strikes, notably hobbling the Paris Metro, demonstrations and traffic slowdowns and blockades Thursday, pitting the power of the streets against President Emmanuel Macron’s government and its proposals to cut funding for public services that underpin the French way of life.
The first whiffs of police teargas came before daybreak, with scuffles between riot officers and protesters in Paris also seen later in the day.
Nationwide demonstrations, from France’s biggest cities to small towns, were expected to mobilize hundreds of thousands of marchers, voicing anger about mounting poverty, sharpening inequality and struggles for low-paid workers and others to make ends meet.
