About 84,000 people demonstrated Saturday under Act 9 of the "yellow vests" against 50,000 last week, said the Interior Ministry, which also reported 244 arrests throughout the country. In Paris, where 8,000 people marched "in peace" and "without serious incident", "the responsibility has triumphed over the temptation of the confrontation", greeted Minister Christophe Castaner in a statement sent to AFP .
