Paris, May 26 (EFE).- (Camera: Christophe Petit-Tesson) Hundreds of climate activists tried to block people from entering the TotalEnergies annual shareholders meeting on Friday as police tried to disperse protestors.

The activists, which were gathered by a coalition of various environmental organizations, tried to prevent the access of TotalEnergies shareholders and employees to the Salle Pleyel venue, in downtown Paris, by sitting on the road in front of the building.

The protest sparked clashes with the police who used tear gas against a group that was blocking access to the venue.
