Paris Plunges Into Chaos As Protesters Denounce New Security Law<\/h1>\n

Soaring coronavirus cases, a slumping economy, and continued social unrest plague France at the moment.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0RT News<\/a>, thousands of protesters flooded the street of Paris Saturday to denounce President Emmanuel Macron’s “Global Security” bill.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 27, the French National Assembly approved the\u00a0Global Security bill’s Article 24<\/a>, which makes it illegal to distribute images or videos of police officers that can easily be identified.<\/p>\n

The security bill has been criticized by activists and journalists, who warn the government is set to increase its surveillance tools and restrict rights of posting images and videos of police officers online. Journalists say this violates freedom of the press.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Reuters<\/a>, the demonstration began peacefully in Paris then quickly spiraled out of control as protesters and police clashed on city streets.<\/p>\n

Protesters were seen torching multiple cars.<\/p>\n
