The French magazine said in a report published on Monday that the police keep this weapon as a last option; in the event of they felt that situation gets out of control.

The Marianne magazine said, according to a high-ranking security official, who was not identified, said that the armor entering the streets of Paris loaded with liquid that can be sprayed in area almost a football field size, without giving details about the nature or capabilities of this liquid.

“Fortunately, things haven’t reached that stage”, the official said.

This comes amid reports of the failure of traditional riot control methods, such as tear gas and water cannons, to deter angry demonstrators.

France has been witnessing protests led by the “Yellow vests” movement since November 17, denouncing the rise in fuel prices and the cost of living.

The crisis continues despite the government’s decision to increase the fuel tax and then abolish it completely.

It is the worst crisis to hit France under President Emmanuel Macron, whom protesters accuse of “arrogance” and “ego” and demanding that he listen to their demands.

French President Emmanuel Macron has declared a state of emergency in the country under the current crisis, while the popular movement and protests in the country prompted former French President Nicolas Sarkozy to seriously consider returning to political life.

Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy has announced his retirement two years ago, but the “yellow vests” protests apparently prompted him to reverse his decision to retire from politics.

Sarkozy’s wife, Carla Bruni, said the former French president was considering returning to political life in the event of a national crisis in the country following the current protests, known as the “yellow vests”.

“Nicolas always tells me that this country is making me feel anxious,” Bruni told France’s Le Journal newspaper.

“I’m seriously thinking of going back to politics”.

The former French president was recently associated with a series of legal scandals, accused of receiving money from late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

Sarkozy, who took office from 2007 to 2012, is suspected of helping a prosecutor to obtain an upgrade in exchange for leaked information about a separate criminal investigation into his illegal access to Gaddafi’s presidential campaign.

The French judiciary has accused Sarkozy of funding Libya for his campaign in the 2007 presidential election.

The former head of state, which was put in custody Tuesday morning in Nanterre, is being tried for bribery, illegal funding of the campaign and the receipt of Libyan public funds, the Le Monde newspaper reported on its website.

The “yellow vests” movement continues for the fourth week in a row despite the government’s decision to increase the fuel tax and cancel it permanently.

The French authorities announced on Saturday evening, 118 of the demonstrators and 17 of the security forces with the continuing protests by the group “yellow vests” across the country against tax policies, praising the security forces treated with demonstrators.
