In France, the pain behind the ‘yellow vest’ protests is felt mostly outside Paris

BESANCON, France — The scenes from Paris have been arresting, as protesters marched down the Champs-Elysees, the grandest avenue in the city, hurling projectiles at police and being tear-gassed in return.

But it is in smaller French towns and cities such as this one, nestled in the foothills near the Swiss border, where the anger is most deeply felt.

People here are dependent on their cars, and so they are especially frustrated with rising diesel prices and a new gasoline tax — the issue at the core of the national “yellow vest” movement that has produced marches and roadblocks throughout France in recent weeks.

And yet Q says this;

What you are witnessing in France has nothing to do w/ gas [forced narrative].
Vive la France!

When you are awake you can SEE CLEARLY.
FAKE NEWS = ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.

If I have to choose between Q and the derp media, I choose Q every time.

Those French riots aren’t about “gas prices” or “fuel taxes.” Seems their people have had enough of the rapefugee invasion.
