Pitched battles between “Far left” eco-activists and French police

NEW - Dozens injured after a violent battle between radical eco-activists and police in Sainte-Soline, western France.

The protesters oppose a large water reservoir for farming.

French interior minister wrote on Twitter: "In Sainte-Soline, the ultra-left are extremely violent against our gendarmes. Unspeakable, unbearable. No one should tolerate this. Full support for our law enforcement."
