Macron has been in hiding for over a week.
There about eight days ago....he got hit in the head with an egg. I suspect they are trying to limit his appearances. It’s possible that you could have some mass event and 500 folks there would have eggs in their possession.
LOL! That had to get that in. (widely discredited...but not completely discredited!)
As an aside, there have been rumors that some police union have advocated joining the protestors.
Some trade unions have already joined the protest and others have vowed to do so.
Yep - they have maybe wiped some of the smug off his face and replaced it with egg.....what’s a despot to do when the citizens refuse to kiss the ring?
It’s spreading to other European countries. 400 protestors were arrested in Brussels.

What IS it about French kings?
I heard that reported when the riots first began and before DJT commented
The Paris Agreement is meant to make ALL ENERGY more expensive year after year. electricity was just the start.

20 Nov: Irish Times: Massive hike in carbon tax needed if Ireland to meet targets ESRI
The current rate of 20 per tonne was not increased in the budget as had been widely anticipated, although Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Minister for Climate Action Richard Bruton have confirmed it is set to increase in coming years...
If there was no reduction in carbon emissions arising from farming, a carbon tax rate of 470 per tonne by 2030 would be necessary, research officer Dr Kelly de Bruin confirmed at an ESRI briefing to launch its new Ireland Environment, Energy and Economy model (I3E)
Dr Kelly de Bruin accepted the necessary level of carbon tax seems insane but international research would confirm this is whats required...
Ireland faces the most stringent reductions in emissions of any member state in what are known as Non-Emissions Trading System sectors which includes transport; agriculture, waste, services and government, Dr Kelly said...

Their mommies?
French police used lots of tear gas, so it is no longer a weapon...call out the MSM on that.
This is our future if we do not stop the leftists from using government to control every aspect of our lives.

Curious how mass arrests never seem to occur to invading Muslims in France.
Vive la Yellow Jackets!
You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.
The Yellow Jackets still want their “stuff” ,but want the rich to,pay for it.
“...1,220 were ordered to be held in custody...” HUH! Did they not have their aunt-teefuh cards with them? Bet they’re wishing they’d been protesting in portland or seattle.

French govt requires all car owners to buy one and keep it in the car for when the vehicle is disabled etc. It signifies that these are all middle class people out there protesting taxes.
Every car in France must have a yellow safety vest, in case stranded on the road.
Guessing they picked that cuz thats just what you wear if youre standing in the road.
