The investigation was entrusted to the territorial security service.

The prefect of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Fabienne Buccio, told BFM Lyon that the 15 people arrested at the protests held in that city correspond to "ultra-leftist profiles".

Demonstrators across France blocked traffic, set fire to containers and occasionally clashed with police in an attempt to "block everything" in protest against French President Emmanuel Macron, the political establishment and planned budget cuts.

French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau last night hailed the "defeat of those who wanted to block the country" during the protests that took place across France at the call of the "Block Everything" movement.

"Thanks to the police, the law has been respected," Retailleau said in a written statement sent by the Ministry of the Interior, reports Le Figaro.

He said that there were many "young individuals, especially high school students" at the protests.

Le Figaro reports that the police removed the last protesters from the Place de la République in Paris in the evening, and that the participants of the protest on the Marianne statue, which personifies France, left the slogans "Behead Macron", "Macron get out of here or..." and "Free Palestine", as well as a painted Palestinian flag.
