UNITED STATES, WASHINGTON (OBSERVATORY) — French riot police briefly used water cannons and tear gas to disperse anti-capitalist protesters in Bayonne, near the resort of Biarritz, where President Emmanuel Macron and his G7 allies meet for a three-day summit.
A police helicopter flew overhead while dozens of demonstrators, some wearing face masks, taunted police.
Earlier, thousands of anti-globalization activists joined Basque separatists and yellow vest demonstrators in a peaceful march on France’s border with Spain to demand action from G7 leaders meeting in the nearby coastal resort of Biarritz.
