YELLOW VESTS FRANCE WEEK 60:  THE PENSION STRIKE CONTINUES






Across France today a day of protest with Yellow Vests and union vests mixed in like they were in Rouen today.






Right now the tug of war continues with tomorrow (January 5th) being the one month anniversary of the strike spearheaded by railway workers in opposing President Emmanuel Macron's "pension reform" plan.

This coming Tuesday talks between the government and unions.

But on Thursday a day of protests called across France with dock workers now planning job action to coincide with the protest plans.


A large crowd in the thousands on the streets in Paris today with a mixture of Yellow Vests and those not wearing vests.


This four hour video shows how things went today.

YELLOW VESTS MARSEILLE WEEK 60 1/4/2020



In Toulouse the Yellow Vests out today on the streets marching and taking their protest to a railway platform as shown in this 11 minute plus video and you get the sense of a thousand or more people at least at one point in the video.    The police are also in the video the CRS riot police ready to rumble.


You see them going after protesters in the video as well.     Some fires lit later on, smoke bombs set off in the video as the black blocs of anarchists reveal themselves.

And so that's the Yellow Vests story for Week 60 as the struggle against President Macron's policies continues and this Thursday the depth of opposition to his policies is set to again manifest itself with the labor union call for nationwide protest as they seek to stop "pension reform".


The numbers on the streets today not established by the "Yellow Number" Facebook yet but clearly thousands out there again today on the streets and he highways and byways of France.
