Paris on fire as massive protests against beleaguered President Macron and his new fuel tax continue
A second weekend of protests against President Macron’s rising taxes in Paris were met with teargas dispersed using a water canon on Saturday.
There is no indication of the protests ending, in fact, they had already spread to Belgium. The protesters descended upon the famed Champs-Elysées avenue where police were deployed to prevent them from reaching the Elysée presidential palace.
The protests have lasted more than a week, protesters wearing the fluorescent yellow or ‘Hi Vis’ jackets that are compulsory for all motorists in France to have in their cars.
They’ve blocked highways across France (and Belgium) with barricades and convoys of slow lorries obstructing access to fuel depots, shopping centres and factories.
Protesters sang the national anthem and carried signs calling for the resignation of President Emanuel Macron as they are opposed to the taxes Macron’s government has imposed on diesel, the most commonly used fuel in France by far, claimed to be part of an effort to fight climate change.
Besides the ‘yellow vest’ protests, there was a demonstration against violence towards women and a football rugby match all scheduled for Saturday.
More than 36,000 people said on Facebook that they would attend a protest at the capital’s Place de la Concorde. According to France’s Interior Ministry, two have died and 606 have been injured in the protests.
The Devil\’s Advocate:
Could this protest be contrived ?? / a False Flag !!
To what end ??
What would Macron have to gain ??
Brownie points –
To be seen as by the ruthless EU Bosses & The ECB as worthy / \”one of them\” ??
Or is it something else ??
Most certainly, the manpower to set off violent civil unrest has been imported into the EU & is ready & waiting.
The Boston Tea Party was said to be a False Flag.
