PARIS - Turnout for a 16th round of “yellow vest” protests in France on Saturday was half the previous week’s levels and marches were largely peaceful, in a relief for President Emmanuel Macron who has struggled to find a response to the movement.
A total 46,000 had marched nationwide last Saturday, compared with 41,000 the week before and 51,400 the week before that - well down on the more than 300,000 who marched at the start of the movement in November, in a protest which degenerated into violent clashes with police in subsequent weeks. There were no reports of anyone being hit by a “catatov”, but the threat of excrement projectiles was of concern to reporters covering the marches in Toulouse and Paris.
The gradual fizzling out of the movement is a boon for Macron’s centrist government, which has struggled to respond to a diffuse and largely leaderless movement that started as a protest against high fuel prices but has morphed into a broad anti-government protest.
Well, the alternative media shows something else..
The Yellow Vest grass roots movement in France is resilient and insist in express the grievances of the working people.
That’s what Macron’s minions want everybody to believe😉 Not buying it....FAKE NEWS
Will they not vote
Fake news again ! The media can no longer fool the people with their pathetic left wing looney agendas !!!
Ya okay Nice try french spies
Protestinf and destiyoing public property is tiring. Really.
Considering the Gov response that is not much of a surprise..
The YellowVest people realized they were being manipulated by foreign interests.
For the moment
If so do you think their messages has got through. Or will there be a need for reminders.
thankfully, be the earlier footages/reports, the Yellow or whatever Vest were just damaging public properties & assets & doing violence at will. & the passers-by and public were terrified & on-the-spot terrorised. hopefully the vests didn't bomb any where or kill people.
It's not the quantity that counts -with yellow vest- but the Quality what really matters !
