For more than five weeks now the so-called Yellow Vest protests have turned into weekly clashes between demonstrators and police in France. The protests were sparked when the French President Macron hiked up fuel taxes after also abolishing a policy that put a high tax on the rich. Due to this, the perception is that the poor are made poorer and the rich are made richer. There is no one specific demographic to protesters out on the streets in Paris—they’re all just very angry and want Macron to resign.
At Popular Front we went to cover the protests after seeing weeks of police violence and dangerous clashes throughout Paris. The weekend we arrived was the beginning of a new police tactic—heavy kettling. We were stuck with #YellowVest protesters for hours, finding it near impossible to move throughout the city. Either way, we made this short dispatch to give you an idea of why so many people are so pissed off in France.

This is some underrated work. On the ground journalism like this is so important!
>the french are sick of the rich acting like kings
yeah, I can imagine that
H
Omg
My heart goes out to the peaceful protesters in France that are suppressed through police brutality by this totalitarian state controlled police force
They think they can import millions of welfare recipients and still live the socialized paradise they're used to? They refuse to acknowledge the problem so France deserves to burn to the ground.
Why can't I share this?
quel peuple français ?! xD vous etes 10000, on est 65millions xDDD taisez vous..
Darwin ……………… on ne ramasse pas une grenade…bouffon xDD
French police tried to explain to a judge how a big notorious french gangster was "accidently" anally raped with a police baton by cops wearing balaclavas. Search it up if you dont believe me.
Where's the outcry from other Western nations? Where are the condemnations?
Really good work guys, pretty much all MSM is now completly silent about what is going on in France, even tho protest are happening every week. The only large channel that covers it is ruptly.
In the country I live you don't see anything about it. On the other hand you will see the local MSM talking about the UN agenda, climate change, Greta and how mass migration is good plus lots of globalist propaganda every day. The UN even called my country "an experiment" at some point. I am pretty sure that they are gonna try to do the same tax laws here very soon, but considering how weak minded the people are in my country, you wont see much resistence.
See this video now. Thank for sharing this … I'm french and the violence, but most important the lies of the media who reduces the proofs and always tries to ridiculize this movement showing bad people who came here not for manifest but for robbery or destruction… I'm glad to see that some videos are circulating. THANK YOU.
Good police work. Control the poor.
The yellow Vests will soon be ARMING themselves. This Civil War will end in the establishment losing if they can only use force instead of brain power !
