One hundred and twenty-five thousand people took to the streets for the fourth Saturday, followed by demonstrations in France. The demonstrators occupied the streets and roads of all France. Ten thousand people protested in Paris.
A man said that he came to the street because he was sad. "Many people do not earn enough to live in. There is a lot of poverty, it's horrible," he said.
The series of demonstrations began on November 17 against rising fuel taxes. Protesters wear yellow vests, such as those required for public transit, and are supported by the majority of the population, according to polls. This week, the government suspended the readjustment. But discontent in the streets has become widespread in the face of the high cost of living in France.
Fearing depredations, like those recorded last weekend, the main tourist sites of the capital were closed. A few days before Christmas, many stores did not open either.
The Minister of the Interior, Cristophe Castaner, called for peaceful protests. Eighty-nine thousand policemen were in the streets. In several cities, the clashes repeated themselves.
In Paris, violent groups infiltrated the crowd: they launched homemade bombs, burned vehicles, destroyed banks and shop windows. Police reacted with tear gas and water jets. At least 920 people were arrested only in the capital. One hundred and eighteen were wounded, including 17 police officers.
The police completely released the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in the early evening. Despite the clashes and some cases of depredation, the protest was quieter than last week. President Emanuel Macron said he would only talk about demonstrations and government measures on Monday (10).
