Violence erupted late Monday in the capital of Fort-de-France .

Protesters threw bottles and rocks and police responded with tear gas, a government statement says.

Martinique has seen similar protests in recent years fueled by anger over economic, social and racial inequality.

It is the latest in a string of protests that began in early September , prompting France to send anti-riot police to the island.
