FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 42:  THE 'REGRETS' OF MACRON BUT THE PROTESTS CONTINUE

During last weekend's G 7 meeting at Biarritz in southwestern France protesters were kept back to towns to the southwest and it was here that the "black blocks' of militants focused their attention rather than peppering themselves in with Yellow Vests.

Across France some 150 protests were held last Saturday from marches through cities to takeovers of toll booths operated by private companies given control of French highways.     That according to "The Yellow Number" Facebook page.

France 2 television interviewed President Emmanuel Macron at the end of the G 7 earlier in the week and asked about the various aspects of the Yellow Vests protests.

Macron expressed his "regrets" citing injuries to protesters and police.

He also noted the "black blocks" involvement in the demonstrations.

But his government continues to move forward with his notions of reforms and pensions will be on the agenda in the coming months among other things.

Yellow Vests took their protest across the border to Geneva, Switzerland today protesting the Macron's government's use of force against Yellow Vests protests using the offices of the United Nations as their venue.   The media reporting hundreds in attendance there.......
