BREAKING NEWS: FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 22
(LATEST NEWS AT THE BOTTOM)
The protesters are back on the streets this Saturday after seeing their numbers thinned out a bit last Saturday, a rainy day across much of France. The government counted fewer than 22-thousand while the Yellow Vests themselves counted just over 97-thousand.
One incident last week is leading to a complaint from the government in the city of Forbach, France in the Moselle region. A European flag was taken down from its mast and replaced by a Yellow Vests flag, with the European flag being burned.
500 Yellow Vests had gathered in Forbach for a protest.
Protest restrictions in center city and shopping areas in many French cities including Paris and the Champs-Elysees. The protest ban in Paris also includes the presidential palace and the National Assembly.

French Socialist politician Segolene Royal expresses the opinion that those protesting a this point in time are no longer Yellow Vests.
Perhaps a reference to the anarchists, "black blocs", that show up dressed in black sometimes with masks and begin attacking buildings and fighting police.
Marine Le Pen of the National Rally has suggested that the government enables the "black blocs" in some cases.
But my sense from the various videos from the towns and cities in recent weeks suggest that sincere Yellow Vests are showing up to protest against the taxes, rules, regulations imposed on them by government and they are looking for real reform and change.
