French police fire tear gas in Paris to drive back protesters marking the first anniversary of anti-government 'yellow vest' demonstrations

The yellow vest protests, named for the high-visibility jackets worn by demonstrators, erupted in November 2018 over fuel price hikes and the high cost of living. The demonstrations spiraled into a broader movement against President Emmanuel Macron and his economic reforms.
