I decided to create a compilation of scenes from the Labour Day protests in France .
Yellow Vest protesters, Black Block members and trade unions are demonstrating for Labour Day on first May 2019.
The Yellow Vest movement emerged spontaneously in November after French President Emmanuel Macron announced controversial hikes in fuel prices to encourage a transition towards greener energy.
Ten thousands have gathered in cities all over France for the demonstrations.
Unions have traditionally registered demonstrations for 1 May. Castaner stressed the freedom of demonstration of those who wanted to participate peacefully in this protest. However, shops, bars and restaurants on the registered demonstration route must remain closed for security reasons.
