Activists of the “yellow vest” movement are back on the streets on Saturday to start a series of movements and demonstrations in Paris and other French cities, after a hiatus during the summer.
Almost two years after the birth of this protest movement, rallies were announced in the provinces of Marseille, Toulouse, Lyon, Lille, Nantes, Nice, Bordeaux and Strasbourg, as well as in the capital, Paris.
Protesters from the Paris region were called to gather on the Champs-Elysées, the squares of La Bourse, Gramm and Saint-Pierre, at the foot of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre.
The Paris police chief, Didier Laallmann, prohibited “any gathering of people who claim to be part of the yellow jacket movement due to the risk of disturbing public order in various parts of the capital,” as well as two demonstrations that had to pass through the Elysian Fields.
Police sources say that between four thousand and five thousand protesters are expected to gather in Paris, including a thousand potentially violent people.
In total, 2,300 people indicated that they intend to participate in the march through the Champs-Elysées, and 7,000 expressed interest in it, according to the event’s Facebook page.
