On Saturday, May 4, a protest action of "yellow vests" took place in French cities for the 25th time. On the eve of the anniversary rally, more than a thousand French cultural figures, including actresses Juliette Binoche and Emmanuel Beard, declared their support for the movement. According to the republican Ministry of Internal Affairs, this action was the smallest since November 2018 - it is reported that less than 19 thousand people took part in it. At the same time, the activists themselves declare that more than 40 thousand supporters of “yellow vests” took to the streets throughout the country. However, the past few days ago, May Day demonstrations were more massive. According to various estimates, between 165 and 310 thousand French participated in them. In general, the Saturday rally of the protesters took place in a calm atmosphere, but in several cities there were clashes with the police, several people were injured.
