More than 9,000 people have joined a demonstration against the "far-right and fascism" in Paris, French media reported on Saturday.

Earlier in the day, the march organized by the Yellow Vests movement started at the Place de la Nation square and ended at the Place de la Republique.

The protesters not only voiced their objection to the presidential candidacy of the right-wing National Rally party leader Marine Le Pen, but also chanted "Neither [French President Emmanuel] Macron, nor Le Pen" and called for boycotting the second tour of the presidential election.
