In his end of the year message at 8pm local time tonight French President Emmanuel Macron denounced the "hateful crowd" among the Yellow Vests protesters.
He denounced those who use the protests an "excuse to speak on behalf of the people" and those who:
"attack the elected officials, the police, the journalists, Jews, foreigners, homosexuals"
as he put it.
Macron also trashed 'misinformation' being spread about issues like migration and the recently approved UN agreement on migration in Marrakesh, Morocco.
Macron said from henceforth that order in regards to protests would be applied:
"Without compromise"
Reacting to his speech online, leader of the National Rally Marine Le Pen tweeted:
"The president is an imposter"
"And a pyromaniac"
For the Left, leader Jean-Luc Melenchon's tweet in part was:
"We do not know why but everything he says falls flat"
Macron's credibility under question during the holiday period with new revelations about his former bodyguard Alexandre Benalla. There was a storm of controversy over Benalla including his beating of protesters during a May Day demonstration as he dressed up as an ordinary policeman to face the protesters.
Even after Benalla lost his job with the French president, he was travelling around with diplomatic passports and even visited the African nation of Chad early in December just weeks before Macron was there.
Over the weekend it was revealed that Benalla was in communication with Macron online since he left his bodyguard job using encrypted messages.
Yellow Vests called for a festive and non protest in Paris tonight and at least one yellow banner with "1789, 1968 and 2018" on it was seen in the crowd at 1015pm local time tonight in Paris.
Yellow Vests were in the crowd on the Champs-Elysees estimated at 250-thousand with one vest reading 'GO MACRON' as in urging him to leave office.
Yellow Vests also occupied the Aquitaine Bridge in Bordeaux to bring in the New Year.
There was a police and military deployment of some 147-thousand personnel across France for New Year's Eve.

Sort of like Nelson Rockefeller. Sarcasm.
Perhaps the yellow vests do not like to be treated as slaves, having their wages stolen to be spent on foolishness.
Climate Change taxes like the ones Macron has imposed aren’t “right wing” unless you define “right wing” as being taxing little people at the gas pump so the big people don’t have to pay for the welfare state, the little people do.
I guess the best solution is no welfare state, but the con game of using “saving the planet” as a reason to tax the average person needs to be called out.
Prissy boy is throwing a hissy fit....
Macron is a Globalist bun boy. He really isn’t being clever here by accusing the Yellow Vests and the public that supports them of all the things leftists accuse their opponents of. You know. Like being anti-semitic (What the heck does that have to do with this?) or racists or Nazis.
I do hope the brave citizens of France do not wimp out on this movement. Macron and his EU elitist pals have got to go. Vive la France! If the citizens do get rid of this NWO pretty boy and his geriatric wife/handler, I swear I will never use the term “cheese-eating surrender monkeys” again.
This was a really dumb move by Macron. His aristocratic tin ear is going to be his downfall. He's going to learn how small the population of the victimized really is and how unwilling to step in front of a bullet his victim class is. The worst part about these statements is that it sounds like a dog whistle for the cops and mercenaries to get more violent.
