Drama and distraction very much the order of the day for the Macron government in the face of the mass strikes and protests.
The media noting the reductions in electricity production already from unionized workers at France's nuclear power plants. But the electricity cuts are not seriously impacting the daily life of the French people.
An incident for the media to dramatize late this afternoon. Police closing an agriculture exhibition in Paris claiming the crowds were too great in size.
Distracting themes in the media in France right now include celebrity crime stories.
A big drama in French media and politics is "femicide" the stories of women being murdered often in situations of "domestic violence" much energy put into these matter.
But the big issue the big story for the French people is the "pension reform".
The common people in France not distracted.
Working French people seeing the banker turned politician President Emmanuel Macron taking aim at their future, their standard of living.
Economics still a powerful force for political action social issues not getting enough traction to benefit the cause of Big Business in cutting government spending on pensions and by default their tax burden.
For now that's the story of France and the Yellow Vests.
