"They marched on the famed avenue behind a big banner writing “Macron, stop taking us for stupid people.”
The overwhelming majority of yellow jackets are regular working stiffs who are non-violent.
The anarchist Antifa dirt bags are mixing in and doing their thing, staining the movement, and of course little Macaroni with the help of the MSM is blaming all the peaceful protestors. Of course violence directed randomly against businesses or architecture is not acceptable and should be prosecuted. But that is the product of the anarchists mixing in and not the large majority of working class folks who are fed up with the Frog limousine liberal globalists who are forcing their agenda in regard to fossil fuels upon the working class.
They pay 30% income tax on a very modest salary. They are paying the equivalent of $6-$7 for a gallon of gas or diesel and Macron, being the next Napoleon in his own foggy mind, is convinced he will force migration and alternative energy sources upon these "little people" and they should be oh so very grateful to him for his brilliant leadership. They are so grateful that his approval rating is down near 20% at the moment.
The Yellow Jacket movement has moved to Belgium, Netherlands as well as Germany and it has been a long time coming. For the most part they are the flyover country middle class people of Europe and I applaud them standing up to the Euro liberal globalists.
