PARIS, April 6. /TASS/. More than 150 police and gendarmes suffered injuries during the riots that erupted in the course of rallies against the pension reform across France, the country’s Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Thursday.

"154 injured, for the moment, among the police on the sidelines of the day's demonstrations. Some seriously. 111 arrests," he said on Twitter.

According to the ministry, there were about 370 protests across the country that brought together a total of about 570,000 people, including 57,000 in Paris. About 11,500 police and gendarmes were posted to provide security, including 4,200 in the capital.

The pension reform proposal unveiled in January calls for raising the pension age from 62 years to 64 years and abolishing some special pension regimes. The proposal set off rallies and strikes across the country. The previous day of rallies, which was on March 28, brought together about 750,000 people. The next day of rallies is scheduled for April 13.
