The government felt good about the pictures coming from the media in Paris where the yellow vests were much less numerous this week. 168 arrests were made in Paris.
It had been suggested that protesting in Paris "was a trap" before December 8th's massive police operation there against protesters.
While today's protest brought some to Paris with the estimate of some 1-thousand, others protested in other locations like Bordeaux where 4,500 protesters gathered and 27 were arrested and 22 injured.
At Saint-Etienne 1,500 protesters with 52 arrests reported.
In Nantes, 1,200 protesters were reported. 16 arrests there with six injuries.
4,500 protesters took to the streets in Toulouse with 30 arrests reported. Three injuries reported there.
In southern France at Montpellier at least 850 protesters were in evidence, 250 more than last week.
Marseilles saw 2,000 demonstrators in the streets with 16 arrests.
They held up yellow signs supporting the "Citizen Referendum Initiative". That's the process where 700,000 signatures forces the legislature to draft new laws for a national referendum.
The reports by tonight from across the country were of 66-thousand protesters as opposed to 136-thousand last week, but those figures could be revised upwards like they were last week by Sunday.
There's plenty of passion in the protests and as one sign read at the top of its message pardon my French and you can look for the translation:
"Merde au Regime"
The UN extends it’s Global Warming conference scam to get more of your money ,LOL
Post from an actual source, not crap from you blog.
On Brenden Dilley’s twitter page there is a retweet that shows a French farmer spraying down a Government building with a manure spreader.
I noticed they cancelled all the French Ligue 1 soccer games for the second week in-a-row.
Because there's no time Toulouse!
CBS news radio said HUNDREDS of yellow jacket protesters are taking part.
Our POS media has to downplay damn near everything.
Keep it going, folks.

Honestly 66k protestors in a country the size of France isn’t nearly enough, should be 10 times that much.
French government buildings getting coated with manure

That seems counter productive...
If I got ticked at the government, maybe I’m not so ticked that I’ll give up my Saturday football and libations to go protest...
Then they cancel the game. I’m still po’d, but no longer distracted by a football game. I might even take my usual libation to the protest. I’m sure that would work out fine...
Cool, weare going to see France tear itself down and rebuild itself. Again.
And our Constitution.....? I tell you what they try to take that down for real and I’ve got nothing left to live for, I am going out to deal with them.
No, coat the politicians, not the buildings.
Jeevus, rookie mistake.
Journalism is dead in the entire world.
><
That’s right. It’s nothing but a propaganda arm for the Globalists.
Well, it’s about 65,300 more protesters than the US would ever need to worry about, unless it was an illegal immigrant march.
Right on, Partner.
