Those known as "yellow vests" burst onto the scene planning to cut French roads this Saturday. 78% of the French are in favor of a protest that the right supports.
They are the last political sensation in France. They have neither a party behind, apparently, nor a union hierarchy or any other acronym. Not even a very elaborate name.
They are known as the "yellow vests" and have imposed themselves in all conversations of the Gallic country to the slips of Macron with the collaborator Petain or even to the gestures of the Trump's visit on the occasion of the 100 years of the First World War. This Saturday, November 17, the "yellow vests" who wear reflective vests with reflective tape will cut, or so they pretend, the roads of France.
The action is part of the protests that are scheduled for that day throughout the country and have as their object of anger the tax increase to the government fuel Macron. The cabinet has tried to justify it, in the words of the president, because "it is preferable to tax gasoline than work", although the Economy Minister Bruno Le Maier himself admitted that "we are all motorists".
The problem for the government is that, drivers or not, it has thrown against people. According to a survey commissioned by Le Figaro, 76% considered the rise in fuel negative and 78% in favor of the protests on November 17.
Given that with regard to this matter, the society is clear, the debate that has settled in France has to do on the one hand with the how, the way in which the yellow vests have broken into the scene without being apparently sponsored by any leader Social. We do not talk about anything like a reissue of the French 15M, but of a Facebook group. With just over 17,000 followers, the reference page, and where everything that can happen on Saturday is cooked is here.
