The “yellow vests” resume protests against living conditions in Paris
Supporters of the ‘yellow vests’ movement staged a protest against inflation and the high cost of living in central Paris on Saturday.
The march started from Breteuil Square in the seventh arrondissement of Paris, and crowds of demonstrators moved towards Percy Boulevard in the capital’s twelfth arrondissement, before being blocked from all sides by the police and the gendarmerie.
This protest comes against the living conditions and inflation in the country, as well as against the government’s refusal to use article 49.3 relating to the reform of labor law.
“The situation in France is very difficult for the poor – says a supporter of the protest movement – they are deprived of treatment, electricity bills and good food. At the same time, there is a group of exploiters who take everything and the State protects them”.
