Paris-Sana
Protesters of the movement of "yellow jackets" continued their demonstrations in a number of French cities today against the French President Emmanuel Macron's social and economic policies despite attempts by the French police to suppress it with tear gas.
The French police confronted the demonstrators with tear gas in a number of cities, especially in the capital Paris as they tried to gather on the Avenue Champs Elysees.
According to organizers of the protest movement, other demonstrations witnessed the cities of Montpellier, Rouen, Toulouse and Lille, where clashes broke out between police and protesters and used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators.
"Together we want the government to change its policy clearly and there can be no radical change without the resignation of the government and a political alternative," said Alexander Chantry, a leader of the protest movement.
In turn, a number of demonstrators stressed that the mobility of the yellow jackets "is recovering and never died."
Macron's domestic and foreign policies have received more opposition and opposition both politically and popularly in France, where protests from the Yellow Jackets movement have continued since November last year to demand his resignation on the back of his failed economic policies that have led to a dramatic rise in the cost of living and increased unemployment among the French.
