"The people will demonstrate on Saturday"
Maxime Nicolle speaks for the "yellow vests" in Versailles, France 12/13/2018
Even before Tuesday's terrorist attack in Strasbourg, the call was out for the next phase of the 'yellow vests' protest on Saturday December 15th.
In the aftermath of the attack, France's Justice Minister said that it was time to end the protests in light of what happened in Strasbourg.
But there were questions and controversy over the government's tactics, which presents a message saying that since President Macron's speech on Monday offering concessions and the Tuesday terrorist attack, it is time for the protests to end.
But yesterday (Thursday) two representatives of the protest movement appeared at the Hall of the Jeu de Paume in Versailles, symbol of the French Revolution. This is the spot where on June 17, 1789 rebellious commoners and others who joined swore an oath to give France a solidly grounded Constitution.
One of those who appeared was Maxime Nicolle who said the people are more mobilized than ever and that people who did not participate before are ready to do so now.
The other, Priscilla Ludosky, said there is "blatant injustice" in France and that taxes must be dramatically lowered to relieve a nation:
"exhausted by a colossal tax burden"
She said there must be a dramatic reduction in privileges for government officials and benefits given to them by taxpayers.....

Macron must resign and hold an election, or else the whole of France will be on fire. Jihadhis playing shoot em up on one hand and populist revolutionaries shutting down commerce on the other.
Macron has effed himself and the Republic with his moves to crate a socialist state. PDJT is laughing in his covfefe.
In a strange way, this Yellow Jackets movement gives me hope.
If government oppression got worse here in the US, we can look to this French resistance as an example of how the middle class taxpayers and deplorables can put pressure on the Deep State.
Sounds like it’s just a matter of time before Macron’s administration folds.
It’s another day we can thank God Trump is fighting for We the People.
Socialist protesting a tax burden but don’t want government to cut its social programs.
This may end in guillotines.
What stopped you from posting the whole thing?
The stupid WallStreetJournal virtually hailed Macron surviving the no confidence vote,when we know that 80% of thepeople in the parliament are either directly in his pocket or are bureaucrats still holding their admin jobs as Enarques... it is like Saddam Hussein getting %98 approval of his parliament...
250 people wore yellow vests in Tel Aviv today for a protest.
Egypt has banned the sale of yellow vests because of an anniversary coming up.
May as well protest about the government’s support of terrorism through the importation of Muslim migrants.
