They are trying to make their comeback.
This Saturday, yellow vests reinvested several roundabouts in France, while the price of gasoline is higher than it was in 2018 when their movement emerged.
If the movement has never completely disappeared, despite a shortness of breath and a pause at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is looking for a new lease of life.
While some yellow vests were particularly active last summer during the rallies against the health pass, the figures of the movement intend to rely on the inflation that the country is experiencing to remobilize.
On social networks, the keyword # GiletsJaunessaison2 has recently emerged, proof that the organizers need to write a new page of yellow vests.
Maxime Nicolle, one of the figures of the movement, did not hide his ambition.
“No way to come back for a weekend or two.
The party will last a hundred weeks if necessary.
We are not tired.
An undeclared action scheduled for Friday in Paris has in any case had no repercussions.
This Saturday, a few dozen people gathered on roundabouts, most of the time without causing a blockage.
Like last Saturday, #GiletsJaunes are positioned near the Gérondeau roundabout, in Saran, north of Orleans.
There are about fifteen of them and they do not block traffic.

Appointment was given at 10 am, this Saturday, for a “season 2” of the movement of #Giletsjaunes.
