The police verbalized Saturday in Paris demonstrators claiming "yellow vests", including Eric Drouet, for having violated a prohibition order to demonstrate near the Council of State, found an AFP journalist. Responding to the call for "yellow vests" on social networks, several dozen demonstrators, without distinctive signs or banners, gathered at midday near the Council of State to march towards the Champs-Elysées, in despite a ban on demonstrating in this area taken by the police prefecture.
"We are not free to demonstrate"
Several people have been fined for violating the order, including one of the figures of the social movement Éric Drouet who told AFP that he had received a "fine" after an identity check while he "was looking at the menu Coffee". "We are not free to demonstrate when it is a constitutional right," he said.
The demonstrators then called for dispersal, under close police surveillance.
