The protests of the "Yellow Wafers" movement have grown and have begun to spread to other countries in Europe.

French President Emmanuel Macron made a speech before the nation, in which he spoke about the huge wave of social protests of the "yellow jackets" that shook the country. The French leader said he "decreed a state of economic and social emergency."
