The daughter of President Emmanuel Macron's wife Brigitte, Tiphaine Auziere, denies she's being paid to organized a "great debate" town hall meeting which is part of nationwide strategy by the government to counter the Yellow Vests protests.
Opposition politicians say the meetings are simply part of a political campaign and not a serious attempt to address the concerns of the Yellow Vests protesters.
Ingrid Levavasseur, who came out to announce herself as part of a Yellow Vests list of candidates for the European Parliament elections in May. is now distancing herself from the "Rally Citizenship Initiative" list after controversy about who might be behind the political movement.
