French yellow vest protests hold 17th weekend of marches

Yellow vests demonstrators march through Paris, Saturday, March 9, 2019. French yellow vests protested for a 17th straight weekend in Paris and other cities against the government's economic policies they see as favoring the rich.

PARIS — Hundreds of protesters in France’s yellow vest movement are on the streets for a 17th straight weekend in Paris and other cities to maintain pressure on the government to reverse policies they see as favoring the rich. The Paris march began near the Arc de Triomphe on Saturday and was to end at the Luxembourg Gardens, where the Senate is located.Marches were also being held in numerous other cities.

The numbers of protesters on the streets has diminished over the weeks, and polls have shown support by the French fading due to violence and damage that has marked some protests and losses for shopkeepers who have closed up to protect their wares.

That Macron

Hundreds or THOUSANDS🤨?!?!

ReturnsSpeedy Mime World.

What other cities are they protesting in Online just shows paris

Bien faites les gilets jaune!!!!!!🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

Waaaahh!

Don’t forget the anti immigration part of the protest. EU globalism policies make Europe less safe.

It took you this long to report on this and this is the spin you put on it If this isn’t fake I don’t know what is. They are protesting a GREEN TAX on fuel. You know, like the one you push for the left...

Are they still demanding Macron's resignation?

Governments hate these people because they get The People the power they deserve.

We see all across Europe the discontent with the way the EU is running thing. Brutality in Catalonia, brutality in France, brutality in Greece. Not a word from the unelected undemocratic bureacrats. Wonder why.

This is different than in Poland, because in our country those who do not agree that the government should support the poor and economically weaker people most often take to the streets. They call social spending money distribution and corruption.

BrianPSmyth AP lies again. 17 weeks and they can’t figure out what the protest is about really? It’s about Macron’s policy of open borders and immigration.

Vey misleading headline. They’re protesting high taxes which are collected in the name of ClimateChange YellowVests

Actually, it's tens of thousands across France. AP has become FakeNews

Hundreds? 😂 Mathematicians, you are not.

Please look at the signs: For pay equality of men and women, against the 1% of überrich... ... Could France be showing the way?

God help the poor, God help the children, God watch over those in need.

Until Macron's presence at Elysee's Palace, things will not change

This movement originally started to repeal the green tax on diesel fuel.

If you're in the UK, It doesn't matter if you support the Yellow Vest movement or not, as most of the UK 'News Teams' can't be bothered reporting it BBCNews BBCWorld SkyNews & Co. They're a little obsessed with addicting political spins on anything related to ISIS at present

More like thousands

They're actually ANSI Green vests.

Looks a bit more than hundreds...

EU is failing

quickslanding God bless them

Louis XVI of France would have a smile on his face and Queen Marie Antoinette, well she would give her 'let them eat cake' another outing whilst EmmanuelMacron smiles and waits instructions from his masters

I think if you are going to state hundreds of protesters you should cite the source. Looks like more people than attended the Trump inauguration.

Russians & Friends working hard to destabilize the Western world by using legit complaints as the thin edge of the blade to topple things over while they make off with the silverware.

Well I guess they dont have anything else to do.

And so far no calls from Western capitals that the unpopular Macron resign or hold fresh elections. If this was an “enemy” country, the outrage from Western politicos, think tanks and establishment media to do just that would be off the scale.

Hundreds? As i could see there are thousens, and all over the Country, 10 thousens! They want Macron to resign!

I think it's more than hundreds

GOOD! MacronMustResign

Few protesters will be protesting week 25 One protester will be prostrating week 35

France's 'yellow vest' protest numbers sharply down, government figures showTurnout for a 16th round of 'yellow vest' protests in France on Saturd... It's not the quantity that counts -with yellow vest- but the Quality what really matters ! thankfully, be the earlier footages/reports, the Yellow or whatever Vest were just damaging public properties & assets & doing violence at will. & the passers-by and public were terrified & on-the-spot terrorised. hopefully the vests didn't bomb any where or kill people.
