FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 54: LOOKING FORWARD TOWARDS A GENERAL STRIKE ON DECEMBER 5TH 11,458 ESTIMATED PROTESTERS
The final rundown last week on Yellow Vests protests was that 61,957 people participated at 505 locations on the first anniversary weekend designated by the movement, according to the "Yellow Number" Facebook page.
But the Yellow Vests are looking ahead to the next popular flash point against the policies of President Emmanuel Macron, a planned General Strike originating with railroad workers but spreading out to include other workers. The Yellow Vests endorse the protest plans.
The December 5th strike directed at President Emmanuel Macron's scheme to combine 42 different pension systems in France into one. Its a plan that's expected to cut pension benefits when its all said and done.
Macron says he is not backing down from his plans but he is trying to project a new image including visiting with workers in Amiens this week and doing media interviews like his Friday appearance with Ruth Elkrief.
