SAINTE-SOLINE, March 25 — French security forces again clashed with protesters today as campaigners sought to stop the construction of reservoirs for the agricultural industry in the southwest of the country, AFP correspondents said.

A long procession set off late morning, comprising at least 6,000 people according to local authorities and around 25,000 according to the organisers. Around the construction site, defended by the police, violent clashes quickly broke out between the security forces and radical militants, AFP correspondents said.

“While the country is rising up to defend pensions, we will simultaneously stand up to defend water,” said the organisers gathering under the banner of “Bassines non merci” .
