FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 174: FOUR WEEKS TO FIRST PRESIDENTIAL ROUND NATIONWIDE PROTEST AGAIN

 



    (MAINSTREAM MEDIA SOURCES USED IN THIS POST INCLUDING BFM-TV, FRANCE 24)




Four weeks from tomorrow the first round of France's Presidential Election and a Ukraine induced pattern has emerged for the election that puts the incumbent "Globalist" President Emmanuel Macron in the apparent driver's seat.


He leads Marine Le Pen of the National Rally in first round and then when the two of them move onto the second round he wins by at least 12 percentage points perhaps more.


The lesser known candidates fading in the polls some now show Left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon sitting on third place at 13 percent.




TODAY IN NORTHERN FRANCE A VERY TRADITIONAL YELLOW VESTS PROTEST AT A TRAFFIC CIRCLE IN LOMME...VIDEO LINK




And in Paris the protest continues...

In Strasbourg the protest took on a cross border flavor as Yellow Vests met German protesters on the border with Kehl Germany...VIDEO LINK



Back to Paris and the view as the protest procession made its way through the streets today.


A yellow sign held up behind the banner leading the protest.


It says:


                                 RIC



which hearkens back to an original Yellow Vests demand in the fall of 2018 that for a "Citizens Initiative Referendum" to allow French citizens to petition and put issues on the ballot in referendums...





West of Paris in Tours today's protest hundreds at least you can see marching with a banner in front of them.   It says:



                  "Liberte par la Vertite"



                     "Freedom by Truth"...







This video from Pau in southwestern France contains still photos of the protest today including the march and rally.



The translation of one protest sign:



"One pass after another to teach us to walk straight.    Is that life for me, it is not"...







And on the Mediterranean coast the Riviera the protest continued today in Toulon you can see a series of still photos in this video...








The video from Lille today more still photos with President Emmanuel Macron featured in the early part of the video montage.     But you also see promotion of the "RIC" the "Citizens Initiative Referendum" with France now in an election season...LILLE WEEK 174 YELLOW VESTS 3/12/2022




At La Rochelle on the Atlantic coast another very traditional traffic circle protest of Yellow Vests.    This protest held at the "Legion of Honor" traffic circle...LA ROCHELLE YELLOW VESTS PROTEST 3/12/2022




There were other protests about climate change today but the Yellow Vests-Health Freedom protests carried on in France.


One other item a discount on gasoline kicking in around 60 cents a gallon on April 1st right before the Presidential election voting.    That word today from Premier Jean Castex.



That's the story of the continuing Yellow Vests protests in France for this week.
