They were demonstrating against the future pension reform, inflation or to demand an overhaul of the institutions: around 4,700 "yellow vests" mobilized on Saturday in France, including 2,000 in Paris, according to the Ministry of the Interior.
The Paris parade, which grew over the afternoon, was framed by a large police force.
The demonstration, which had been relayed on social networks, crossed the south of Paris to the rhythm of anti-Macron songs but without the violence or clashes between demonstrators and the police which punctuated the "yellow vests" movement initially launched in November 2018 against the increase in fuel taxes and which has since largely withered.
"I'm afraid to go to the hospital"
"It will grow with the pension reform, we start again," testified Hasna Kenider, administrative assistant.
“We no longer have public services.
The hospital I'm afraid to go.
I don't see myself working until I'm 64,” she continued.
Laetitia, thirty years old who did not wish to give her name, deplored “the third-worldization of France” while deploring “paying a lot of taxes” without seeing “in return what we are paying for”.
