Brigitte Bardot and other celebrities join the revolt of yellow vests in France


The movement of the yellow vests has begun to receive the public support of the characters "people", famous of the most diverse sensibility, from Brigitte Bardot, national legend, a rapper musician who has become a millionaire singing horrors that have great success, the suburbs of Paris and the big cities.

It is a flammable evolution of the national crisis of the yellow vests, a movement without direction, without organization or official spokespersons, which protests against the rise in the price of fuels and the high cost of living.

Beyond the anecdote, more or less picturesque, the public support of Bardot and Kauris seems to be the beginning of an evolution between popular and populist that Marine Le Pen, to the extreme right, and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, to the extreme left, they support with the evidently political aim of «appropriating» a revolt of contours as imprecise as they are unpredictable.

Bardot and Kauris, among other personalities, have begun to be photographed wearing a yellow vest with reflective tape for clothing. Personalities are little known outside France, but very popular in their homeland, have begun to declare their support for the yellow frond. Singer Pierre Perrot, actor Franck Dubos, comedian Arnaud Ducet, television presenters Patrick Sebastian and Cyril Hanuman, among many others, have photographed themselves with yellow vests or made statements of support for the movement.

Macron's invitation to negotiate fails
The great national speech of Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday morning, inviting the yellow vests with reflective materials to participate in the negotiation of a new social contract, has not had any success. Here and there, throughout France, there are calls for new days of struggle, protest, cutting roads and highways.

Without national organization, without official spokesmen, the yellow safety vests proliferate and "bloom" everywhere, without it being easy to gauge the exact scope of the movement. Numerous analysts think that this front could be the beginning of a new national populist movement or more defined political contours, but disturbing for the unions and traditional political parties, apparently sunk in a lack of understanding and lack of evident representativeness.
