France's Interior Minister Christophe Castaner Speaks After Week 19 Of Yellow Vests Protests 3/23/2019



By the Yellow Vests own estimate more than 127-thousand protested Saturday March 23rd which is a lower number than last week.


The government's own estimate 40,500 which is up from last week.


Five thousand demonstrated in Paris and there were more than 100 Yellow Vests protests throughout the country.

The government message in the aftermath of the protests was one of satisfaction for "keeping order".

But the crackdown with new harsher tactics and protest bans in certain areas did not deter people from taking to the streets in Paris and elsewhere.

A massive demonstration, larger than usual, with 4500 demonstrating in the southern city of Montpellier.

Police used tear gas on the protesters there towards the end.....MONTPELLIER VIDEO LINK FULL FOUR HOURS

Tear gas in Paris at one point during the procession today.  Full video of Paris protest from Ruptly...

Demonstrators tried to enter an area in Nice where demonstrations were banned during the afternoon. Police attacked demonstrators there seriously injuring a 72 year old woman.

She suffered several skull fractures and is under observation in a hospital.  The injured woman told her daughter later that she remembers the police charging, then nothing.
