Full Title: The battle for Paris: Violence erupts in French capital as police clash with rioters leading to 60 arrests - as Yellow Vest demonstrations rage into FIFTH week
They have been protesting since November 17 and, despite a range of concessions by President Emmanuel Macron including scrapping green taxes of diesel and petrol, continue to call for him to step down.
'Macron Resign', a crowd of around 1,500 chanted today in the streets around the 19th Century Opera Garnier, which is normally a huge draw for tourists.
Around 8,000 police officers have been deployed ahead of a fifth consecutive week of demonstrations.

Bringing in armored vehicles was the perfect way to ensure that the french people do not allow the current government to continue.
The real reason they’re protesting is because they feel powerless against corrupt ‘elites’...
Meaningless until they begin perp walking refugees to the border and chanting global warming is a hoax along the way
Manny Moron, Murky Merkel and TMay... varying degrees of maniacal megalomaniacs.
So delicious. Like feasting on Chateaubriand washed down with Chateau d’Yquem followed by silver trays of fancy French patisserie.
They accuse Macron of a denial of democracy or treason against the nation for signing the UN Compact without public debate, or consulting the French electorate.
Written by General Antoine Martinez, it was signed by top level figures, including ten generals, an admiral, a colonel, as well as the former French Minister of Defense Charles Millon all from the network of the Volontaires pour la France (VPF).
The French state is late in coming to realize the impossibility of integrating too many people, in addition to totally different cultures, who have regrouped in the last forty years in areas that no longer submit to the laws of the Republic, the letter continues, adding that mass immigration has erased Frances civilizational landmarks.
Bringing in armored vehicles marked with the French flag would be one thing. But there are reports that some vehicles were marked with the EU flag. What genius thought that was a good idea?
And chanting “We want Trump”
Supposedly the French flag is in the same place on the opposite side of the hull. Still, given the basis for the protest, not a great idea.
“The real reason theyre protesting is because they feel powerless against corrupt elites...”
Their votes don’t count. The Islamos get to live in France for free, and the yellow jacket’s taxes pay for the above.
If I were French and the EU military vehicle were in my country, I would help destroy it just like it was done in Iraq and Afghanistan. If the UN were ever to place a military vehicle in this country in this fashion, God help them.
Remember how our Elites were laughing at Trump being lectured by little Macaroni? Now he is worried about Ol Choppy.
An American version of the Yellow vests is coming if Trump is impeached.
Ever asked yourself what life will be like without Trump?
I listened closely to some of the videos of those tanks last week and at least one riot cop emerged not speaking French.
I’m wondering what is keeping the radicals from attempting the same sort of violent overthrow of Trump. This is so their style, what could be the inhibition? Maybe they sense that leftist revolution ain’t the only revolution game in town.
They’re approaching the soft coup instead. Every day they believe he will be led away in handcuffs. Ever see their tweets?
Possibly even if he isn’t.
Can not continue as a corrupt..sub-government.. election stealing..over taxed.. Illegally occupied nation...
Something has got to give.
A bas les aristos!
