HEALTH FREEDOM YELLOW VESTS PROTESTERS IN PARIS OCTOBER 2ND, 2021
This week a dramatic rise in natural gas prices in France. For those who heat their homes with natural gas its 14.3 percent effective Friday. There have been a series of gas hikes through the summer months and into September.
Fears in government of reignition of the Yellow Vests movement linked to gasoline at the pump prices that sharply rose almost three years ago along with other energy prices. The hikes rolled back by the government in the face of the early Yellow Vests protests.
Prime Minister Jean Castex appeared on television Thursday evening to announce measures to stop higher energy prices in the months leading up to next April's presidential election.
In politics the continuing hype of pundit Eric Zemmour which takes Marine Le Pen down in polls perhaps to a point where a mainstream candidate of the "Right" Xavier Bertrand can get into a second place finish behind the incumbent President Emmanuel Macron in the first round of the Presidential Election next April.
One thing to watch out for since Eric Zemmour is Jewish is for some sort of Anti-Semitic incident to appear to discredit Le Pen. Le Pen has been forced to speak so far of "false prophets" in a general attack on the rising new candidate in the race.
Zemmour very outspoken on Islam like Geert Wilders of the Party of Freedom in the Netherlands.
When Thierry Baudet and his new Forum for Democracy Party appeared on the scene to challenge the mantle of Wilders as the leading opposition force in the Netherlands Baudet's party was rocked by Anti-Semitism allegations and split in two.
That enabled Wilders to remain in his leading the opposition position in this year's election.
ONE INTERESTING POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT THIS WEEKEND THE PRAISE OF ERIC ZEMMOUR FROM JEAN MARIE LE PEN, MARINE LE PEN'S FATHER, NORMALLY MARGINALIZED BY MAINSTREAM MEDIA AS A RACIST, ANTI-SEMITE AND EXTREMIST.
NOW JEAN MARIE LE PEN IS DEPICTED BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA TO BE SABOTAGING MARINE LE PEN PERHAPS HIS PRAISE OF ZEMMOUR MEANT ACTUALLY TO BE SABOTAGING OF ZEMMOUR.

In Limoges some 200 protested.
Some 680 estimated in Dordogne.
One thousand said to have protested in Lille.
In Tours the crowd estimated to be 600 to 800 people.
In the Alpine town of Gleize near the Swiss border not too far from Geneva some 150 people protesting outside a hospital over forced vaccination of workers and the vaccine passport according to a local media report.
Thousands including motorcyclists in the protest today in Toulon in southern France. The official government estimate is 1300...
Two banners in front of the protest here one reads:
"Telling The Truth Becomes A Revolutionary Act"
the other roughly reads:
"The Pass The Dead End Or All Our Rights Die"
The official government estimate of the protesters today is 48,000 nationwide. 173 locations for today's protest. In northwestern France a bad weather day torrential rains and crowds that were smaller.
The government's estimate in line with the government-media narrative of declining participation in the protests.
For now that is the story of the Yellow Vests-Health Freedom protests this week in France.
