After Le Pen wins the first round of the presidential elections in France - heavy clashes erupt at May Day demonstrations in Paris.

Video from first round of French elections

In the hours before the first round of the French elections, as the voices of European reason and liberalism anguished and then sighed with relief, we took to the streets of Paris: from its edge to its core, the French capital exudes fear and resentment. For so many, the election is distant, irrelevant, unable to change a life for which there is little to celebrate.
