Paris-Sana
Today, French police fired tear gas at a demonstration of health workers in the capital, Paris, calling for better working conditions, higher wages and more investments in hospitals.
The Associated Press reported that French police fired tear gas at demonstrators near the Invalides square, which includes a complex of buildings, museums and monuments, while hundreds of health care crews and medical workers gathered in Marseille, the second largest French city.
Paris and various French cities witnessed demonstrations by medical staff to demand the government to improve their working conditions and wages after three months of unprecedented health crisis in France after the spread of the Corona pandemic.
Ambulance and emergency workers had staged strikes and protests for months last year, demanding more employment and funding opportunities after years of job losses.
