Around 16:30 to 17:00, "yellow vests" and men dressed in black and hooded, according to the ministry, went Saturday in front of the secretary of state government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux, located rue de Grenelle.

"They broke down the door with a construction machine," said a member of the Ministry of Europe 1. They broke into the ministry's courtyard. "Some were armed with iron bars to break cars," says a close Benjamin Griveaux. The government spokesperson and his associates were exfiltrated from the building for safety.

In the ministry, it is said to have seen about fifteen people, "people who are against the system," they accuse. Yesterday, at the exit of the council of ministers and the eve of "act 8" of "yellow vests", Benjamin Griveaux had denounced agitators wanting insurrection and basically overthrow the government.
