Cleaning up blockades does not stop French protest

paris - The French police have removed many blockades of demonstrators Tuesday, but the protest against the increases in fuel prices continues. French media reported that an estimated 27,000 demonstrators were on their feet on the fourth day of protests.

Minister of Home Affairs Christophe Castaner said that the protests get out of hand and should therefore be stopped by force if necessary. Since the big manifestations of Saturday, two people have been killed and more than 550 injured, including 17 seriously injured.
