The government reports that some 40-thousand Yellow Vests protesters were active on this Saturday before Christmas in France. That's down from 66-thousand last week.
220 were reported arrested by evening nationwide with 81 kept in custody.
Among those arrested Eric Drouet who called on protesters this morning at 9am to come onto the streets of Paris in the 9th Arrondissement of the city. This is an area where police would find it difficult to contain or control protesters.
The protest was moved from Versailles after police shut down railroad stations to prevent people from Paris reaching Versailles.
2000 protesters were estimated to be on the streets of Paris today.
By evening there were some confrontations with police in the city including an incident with three police motorcyclists attacked by protesters throwing paving stones and scooters along the Champs-Elysees.
Government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux denounced the actions of Yellow Vests protesters posting on Twitter that they were "racist, anti-Semitic, putschist". He denounced a reported protest Friday night in southwestern France where a mock trial of President Emmanuel Macron was held and an effigy of him was decapitated.
In Toulouse, 2500 protesters were on the streets and 2600 took to the streets in Bordeaux.
Border crossings with Spain, Italy and Germany were blocked by Yellow Vests protesters.
“The protest was moved from Versailles after police shut down railroad stations to prevent people from Paris reaching Versailles.”
Macron the moron is not amused.
Wonder if he’s still hiding behind mommies skirts in their palace?
Apparently...protesters tricked police saying they were protesting at Versailles and ended up at Champs, again.
Also....a policeman pulled a firearm on YV as they were trashing their motorcycles.
He’s in Africa.
“where a mock trial of President Emmanuel Macron was held and an effigy of him was decapitated.”
Madame Defarge must be keeping up with her knitting...
HA! Notice there are no terror attracts. The Muslim are in shock at the crazy white guys who have finally had enough. Rumor has it many want to move back to Syria or Iraq where they’ll be safe
Good.
Wow. This is significant. Hey algore. You keep pushing the global warming bs and it will happen here and your mansion will be the first. The French people know how to treat their tyrants.
This is becoming serious. Didn’t think the frogs had it in them. Who knew?
Commuters objecting to higher gas prices is “racist”?
How do you throw a scooter?
Btw, I have just about had it with the elites. Obamacare is destroying my family’s financial viability. The Obamacare tax is killing us. An algore carbon tax will finish us off. And when I have nothing left, I might be wearing one of those vests too. Let’s hope that the elites will take a some time and contemplate what might happen. And may God help us.
Wake me up when the vests “crusade” the koranimals and destroy them painfully.
“And when I have nothing left, I might be wearing one of those vests too. “
Better for all of us to construct guillotines.
I will pay to pull the lever on ManBearPig.
Figures the little boy would run away and leave others to face the music. An empty suit.
I wonder myself....
That’s too good to be true
Exactly. Must be pretty big agitators. Paving stones—ok I could likely do that but might need assistance to toss a scooter down the street.
I would like to see the video.
In which state do you reside?
Wow...for real? That’s wonderful.
