France 24: Yellow Vest protests: Macron launches national debate with open letter to the French
President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday kicked off a three-month national debate he hopes can quell the "yellow vest" unrest with a letter to the French in which he pledged to listen to new ideas but stuck to his core economic reform agenda.
Macron's initiative comes after nine weeks of protests by the Yellow Vests" – named after the high-visibility jackets they wear. The disparate anti-government uprising has wreaked havoc in Paris and French cities, shaken the economy and challenged his authority.
"For me, there is no banned issue. We won't agree on everything, which is normal in a democracy. But at least we'll show we're a people which is not afraid of talking, exchanging, debating," Macron wrote in the letter published by his office.

And when the Yellow Jackets get similarly armed the debate will heat up.
Duh! He's got the debate! The Yellow Vests are speaking in the only language that would ever get Macron's attention. If they appealed to him via petition he'd ignore them.
What a poser Macron is, Trump didn't take long to realize Macron was a light weight, typical of a Socialist.
