BREAKING NEWS: YELLOW VESTS WEEK 26 ONE HALF YEAR OF PROTEST IN FRANCE
(LATEST NEWS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
(FRIDAY EVENING)
This Saturday May 11th will mark the 26th straight week of Yellow Vests protests in France coming within weeks of the European Parliament elections set for Sunday May 26th.
President Emmanuel Macron's policies are the impetus for the protests with Macron hoping to improve his political position with a win in the upcoming vote.
His party in a neck and neck race for first place with Marine Le Pen's National Rally. His popularity slightly greater than that of his party in the low 20's percentage wise so Macron is associating himself with the La Republique En Marche (LaREM) campaign putting his picture on campaign literature.
Its a little out of the norm for the President of the Republic to be so political but its a chance he's taking hoping to get some political traction with a win in the upcoming election.
President Macron will have a major media event Saturday to distract from protest with the military operation overnight Thursday that released four hostages including an American. Two French soldiers killed there. The President will greet the four hostages and honor the dead Saturday.
The Yellow Vests gathering in Nantes on Saturday, Lyon has been designated as a site of a major rally.
That's usually a sign that "black blocs" of anarchists will be there.
A large and expanded protest ban zone is in effect in Lyon.
The authorities in Nantes are putting out word they expect anarchists there and are planned a massive police presence.
A "counter protest" in Strasbourg where a campaign event is underway for Emmanuel Macron's political party in connection with the European Parliament elections.
The leading candidate on the list for LaREM, Nathalie Loisseau, will be there along with the French Premier Edouard Philippe rallying in one of the cities where the European Parliament meets.
Protests banned in Paris on the Champs-Elysees, Notre-Dame and around the Elysee Palace of President Emmanuel Macron.
Protests bans in the centers of six others cities Saturday (Bordeaux, Dijon, Lille, Orleans, Rouen and Toulouse).

There will be a protest in Paris today but social media interest is reported lighter than in other cities, a march "in support of teachers" set for the capital city.
There was a massive nationwide walkout and protest by teachers in France over a new Macronist law with some 180-thousand estimated participants according to the government.
That all happened on Thursday.
"Yellow Vests Against The Blanquer Law" is the theme for the Paris protest.

The protest today in Lyon not just about marching in the streets but there's also a barbecue at a local park set to go on until 11 pm tonight.
