Reuters: French 'yellow vests' march through Paris, keeping pressure on Macron
PARIS (Reuters) - “Yellow vest” protesters marched through Paris and other French cities on Saturday on the 11th weekend of action against the government, suggesting President Emmanuel Macron has yet to defuse public opposition to some of his policies.

It's only because they have a common symbol, like a flag almost, that this keeps going,and most likely will intensify. I see no way down for this movement and the yellow vests in France, it's transcends all societal barriers. The key is the vests.
We buy those vests we wear on weekends and they come from China...sort of like the MAGA China hats
