VOICED : Violentos enfrentamientos en una Francia semiparalizada

The French police faced masked protesters in Paris during a large demonstration against labor reform. The protests, organized by unions, have been ongoing for three months. Strikes have extended to nuclear plants, causing energy and transport disruptions. The unrest comes two weeks before the Euro Cup, with more strikes planned. The government, led by Prime Minister Manuel Valls, is open to changes in the law but refuses to withdraw it, arguing it will help combat unemployment. Critics fear it will increase job insecurity.
