Yellow Vest protesters hit Paris for 34th weekend

Police used tear gas to briefly push back Yellow Vest protesters who had flooded Paris streets for the 34th week in a row on Saturday.

Since the movement began last November, tens of thousands have marched every Saturday through the streets of France, airing a number of grievances, ranging from taxes on fuel to income inequality.

According to official numbers, over 6,000 took to the streets last weekend across the country.

The number of protesters has gradually fallen as a result of measures taken by President Macron to quell the public anger, such as tax cuts to boost consumers' spending power.

However, some demonstrators on Saturday said they would continue to protest over Macron's policies.
