cnn.gr (Greek) —

Violence erupted in Paris and other French cities following Saturday's large protest, with nearly 1,000 people detained and two seriously injured in clashes between demonstrators and police. The Paris march was initially peaceful, but afterward groups threw objects at officers, who responded with tear gas and stun grenades. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez called the police operation a success, saying it prevented larger-scale destruction. Protests drew an estimated 410,000 people nationwide, with unions planning another strike day on November 5. Clashes also occurred in Toulouse, Clermont-Ferrand, Nice, Lille, Marseille, Lyon, and Grenoble, with 70,000 officers deployed.
