Antiriot police charge protesters on the sidelines of a demonstration on October 10, 2017 in Paris, part of a nationwide strikes and demonstrations day called by nine unions representing 5,4 million public sector workers to show their “profound disagreement” with French president's bid to transform the gargantuan public service and government's plans to freeze their pay and eliminate 120000 public jobs. The protests are the fourth round of demonstrations in France since September aimed at forcing the 39-year-old president to row back on his reforms, with the government's response being closely watched by European allies and investors.
