The French capital experienced its worst riots in decades last weekend. The protest with shocking images of France has sent President Emmanuel Macron's government into its deepest crisis yet.
Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said that 8,000 police officers are deployed in Paris out of a total of 89,000 police officers deployed nationwide. In addition, dozens of armored vehicles will be deployed in Paris - a move that occurred for the first time in Paris to suppress protests.
Paris police have gathered since early morning and are preparing carefully for the worst case scenario, armored vehicles have been deployed to support security forces.
Paris anti-riot police also have the support of professional dogs, who will help the police in capturing extremist elements.
The protests set up their own checkpoints with tree stumps, tables and chairs and some other materials, and they also equipped masks to deal with the spicy air from the police.
Some protests tried to pick up pepper spray to throw back at the police, while others criticized the police for having started the violence before while they were demonstrating moderately.
Although the French government has gone into the country and announced a postponement of the increase in environmental and gasoline taxes until 2019, the public's anger has not subsided, because according to many, "increasing taxes is just a drop of water that overflows the cup".
The police did not cooperate with extreme protests.
This is the first time since 2005 that armored vehicles have appeared on the streets of Paris.
More than 500 people were arrested on December 8, more than the number of those arrested in the previous week.
French anti-violence police CRS arrested a man on a day of national protests over the "yellow shirt" movement in Paris.
Unlike last week, the police divided into small groups and proactively moved to repel the demonstrators. Some of the demonstrators were even stopped from boarding trains while still outside Paris.
Previously, drawing on the experience of what happened last weekend, from early morning, owners of stores on both sides of Champs-Elysees have reinforced windows and glass windows to prevent the risk of sabotage and theft.
Thousands of people in the "golden gilet" movement still took to the streets in Paris on December 8. On the other side of the Atlantic, US President Donald Trump said that "The Paris Agreement is not effective for Paris". The increase in gasoline prices is due to Paris' commitment to combating climate change.
