France s Yellow Vest Protesters Just Won Against Macron ( HBO)
According to local media in France, Macrons government announced a moratorium on the hike in fuel prices today. The Uturn comes after Saturdays riots in Paris which the government said were the worst they had seen in 50 years. It marked the third week of gilet jaunes or yellow vest protests across France, named after highvisibility safety jackets the French are required to keep in their cars. The movement first came together on social media to protest an increase in fuel taxes. But among chants of Macron Resign Macron Resign at the protest, it was obvious it had become about working and middle class being hit hard by the economic policies of President Emmanuel Macron. We need a balance between the rich and poor in France, Jimmy Moreno told VICE News among tear gas and water cannons at LArc de Triomphe. Jimmy came to protest peacefully and voted for Macron in the 2017 election but says he wouldnt vote for him again. He has shown himself to be coldhearted and inhuman, little more than a ban
