French youth marched in a massive rally today in Paris…
And, once again they were greeted at the end of their long march not with jobs but with fists.

Suburban youths were blamed for the violence at the protest last week in Invalides Park. Police met to make sure that the same type of violence did not meet the protesters on Tuesday:

A day before the demonstrations, two cars were set on fire at a protest in front of a high school in Seine Saint Denis, police said. The suburban Paris region was a focal point of fall unrest in immigrant communities that spread across France. Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy has said many suburban youths behind November’s rioting were involved in Thursday’s violence at the Invalides. He was meeting with police before the Paris march begins Tuesday.

It didn’t do much good.

“Police and transport officials were monitoring the rail and bus systems to try to stop unruly elements from entering the capital.”

That sounds a bit like racial profiling?

Paris, the City of Fire and Fountains!

More than 1 million demonstrators poured onto France’s streets, and strikers shut down the Eiffel Tower and disrupted plane, train and bus services Tuesday in the largest nationwide protests so far against a new law that will make it easier to fire young people.

No Pasaran! is following the battles.
