They were 51,000 last Saturday throughout France, according to the Interior Ministry, more than double according to the "yellow vests". How many will this Saturday be for Act XIV? New events are taking place throughout France as the movement celebrates its three months of existence. In Paris, a procession started at 12 o'clock in the Place de l'Etoile.
The "yellow vests" parade in calm under a radiant sun. The procession has grown enormously as it progressed through the capital. After the Champs-Elysées, the Invalides, Montparnasse station, protesters are heading near the Pantheon, towards Soufflot street.
We find the usual slogans and slogans " Macron resignation ", " Taxes, that's enough " or slogans calling for the establishment of the famous RIC, the referendum initiative citizen.
Note also, the presence in the procession of several figures of the movement as Maxime Nicolle alias Fly Rider or Jerome Rodriguez.
So is there a weariness to demonstrate for the "yellow vests"? Fatigue, perhaps, but not weariness have explained some protesters who intend to keep the pressure on the government.
" For me, it's really a priesthood and no, no weariness. For me, priesthood is the word , explains this retiree. And I am not in the most unhappy. But it is scandalous that people live with € 1,200 in the Paris region today. In any case, they are in misery. In the province, then there is almost worse. There is no longer any public service. And there too, for me, contrary to what the state says, today there may be more public service and low wages, they too can be increased. Money, there is. It is a fight and the government should act quickly. I assure you, there are many people who are determined to stay, to last the time it will take. "
Another demonstration could take place in Paris this Sunday, from tomorrow, February 17, exactly three months after the beginning of the movement.
