YELLOW VESTS WEEK 65:  PENSION PROTEST MOVEMENT PLANNING NEW ACTION




The Yellow Vests movement carries on after last week's manifestations across France.    The Yellow Vests "Yellow Number" Facebook estimated a minimum of 23,465 people involved last Saturday.


The pension protest movement opposing President Emmanuel Macron's plan to "reform" pensions will again manifest itself in the week ahead trying to keep up the pressure on the government.
