PARIS — They won’t go away. Week after week, France’s yellow vests are out on the streets, in one of the biggest and longest popular uprisings the country has seen in years; a political crisis with no easy exit.
On Saturday, roughly 51,000 protesters took to the streets for the thirteenth consecutive weekend but the numbers were down from January. Once again, the demonstrations were marked by violence, with one protester severely wounded in the hand.
Now heading into its fourth month, the unrest has cost the French economy billions of dollars in lost tourism and commerce, and morphed from anger over a fuel tax hike to include broader social and economic grievances.
Jerome Partage believes the yellow vest protests are shaping a new revolution in France.

There’s been no end in sight to the protest because the conditions at that spawned them, the total shafting of the average Frenchman, have not been addressed. The globalists have dug so the only resolution appears to be revolution.
This is like the greatest Polish uprising against Moscow, but among our own allies? Have we been fighting the same forces that drove Russia into a slow motion disaster of a revolution while t the same time foisted the central bank, income tax, a d creeping government in the US at the same time?
Unless the Yellow Vests start shooting a few of their globalist elites this ‘’protest’’ isn’t going anywhere.
France was littered with commies after WW2. My parents were stationed there in the early 50’s. My mom has many stories about their intimidation and threats.
Please translate into English.
Well the goons are blowing off peoples hands now.

The death toll is bound to add up eventually. Macron is a murderer.
Gonna have to start killing treasonous cops who push these protestors back anytime they seem to fart in order to make this work. Are there no French military helping this movement?
I think the cops didn’t act wrong there. They were shooting the tear gas grenades on the ground. The guy then went to pick it up to throw it back at the cops (dangerous) and it went off when he grabbed it.
I must be really dense.
I can’t figure out WHAT THEY WANT.
They are professional demonstrators.
France was littered with commies since 1916.
So, who are the ones committing violence on the protesters?
A bas les aristos!
