France's Martinic Island Riots Again, Police Attacked By Molotov Bombs

JAKARTA - Protesters burned cars and attacked police in riots on the island of Martinik (Martinique), Caribbean, France.

This riot is related to protests over the rising cost of living that are currently showing no signs of easing.

As reported by Reuters, the Martinic Administration said seven cars were burned and police were attacked with stones and Molotov cocktails during the riots from Monday night to Tuesday, October 29, morning. Four youths were arrested.

The demonstration, which began in September, continues despite curfew restrictions.

France's foreign regions including Martinique, Guadeloupe and New Caledonia have recently been rocked by protests, often by groups complaining that the standard of living is well below the standard of living on mainland France.

Guadeloupe experienced power outages across the island last Friday.
