Brigitte Bardot, who declared herself in favor of the movement of "yellow vests" in November, said about protesters: "I understand what they live, their anger in everyday life", in an interview published in Midi Free Sunday.

"The Restos du Coeur should be subsidized by the State". "When I see the millions used for things of unimaginable futility, when I see the movement of policies by private plane, cars, drivers ... All this money spent is unbearable, give it to people who no longer have a round, "Brigitte Bardot developed in the columns of the regional daily. The former icon of French cinema said that "the Restos du Coeur should be subsidized by the State", praising "the work of volunteers". Asked about Emmanuel Macron's responses to "yellow vests", she found it "absolutely not convincing".

"I think we should become 'vests' of another color and revolt to protect all the animals on the planet." Brigitte Bardot, who had already asked the president for a Christmas "miracle" for animals, said the government was ignoring petitions for animal rights. "In Paris, they have nothing to do," she lamented. "I think we should become 'vests' of another color and revolt to protect all the animals on the planet, I'm too old to take this kind of initiative, others could do it." She also said that she sent a letter to the president's daughter-in-law, Tiphaine Auzière, passionate about horses, "to ask her to support us to abolish hippophagy".

"No one eats horses and yet we continue to kill 60,000 horses a year for nothing and export them to Belgium and Italy.It must stop all this.It is a horror," said Brigitte Bardot.
