In Paris, police fired tear gas at taxi drivers' demonstrations

In Paris, police officers fired tear gas at a demonstration of taxi drivers. This was reported on May 19 by the mesinfos portal.

It is clarified that earlier on Monday, taxi drivers began to mobilize to protest against the new pricing rules for medical transport, unveiled last week by the Ministry of Health. At the beginning, the action was held in a calm atmosphere.

"At noon, tensions increased in the area of Raspail Boulevard, where tires were set on fire. The police used tear gas to prevent the protesters from approaching Matignon," the article says.

It is noted that the drivers want the authorities to abandon the revision of the terms of compensation for the transportation of hospital patients at the expense of state medical insurance. The new rules are due to come into force this fall.
