[ad_1]

Dozens of yellow vests are concentrated in different parts of France, including Paris and Bourges in the center of the country, on the occasion of the 9th Saturday of demonstrations against the government of President Emmanuel Macron.

Fearing new episodes of violence, the Interior Ministry has further strengthened its police force, with 80,000 officers deployed throughout the country, including 5,000 in Paris, according to Efe.

After the Christmas break, about 50,000 yellow jackets have already appeared last week and violent incidents have been reported.

  • Police fear that mobilization of protesters will be increased on Saturday.

In Paris, several demonstrators gathered in front of the Ministry of Economy, in Bercy. Police controlled the bags and backpacks of protesters arriving in the area and until early in the morning there was no trace of riot.

The Champs-Elysees, stage of the clashes of December, was closed as a preventive measure. Traffic was also interrupted in several streets around Place de la République and Gare du Nord. The yellow jackets gather Saturday at noon in the city of Bourges, in central France. – Photo: Guillaume Souvant / AFP 12) – photo: William remembering / AFP "src =" data: image / jpeg; base64, / 9j / 4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD / 2wBDAAMCAgMCAgMDAwMEAwMEBQgFBQQEBQoHBwYIDAoMDAsKCwsNDhIQDQ4RDgsLEBYQERMUFRUVDA8XGBYUGBIUFRT / 2wBDAQMEBAUEBQkFBQkUDQsNFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBT / wgARCAARABkDASIAAhEBAxEB / 8QAGQAAAgMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYEBQcI / 8QAFgEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwIE / 9oADAMBAAIQAxAAAAFo0Pidoz3sCjk9RL07ACjMTwyN / 8QAHhAAAgICAgMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgQAAwEGBTUUFkL / 2gAIAQEAAQUC4vdVMSnn0AxsG6rgftKcWfpoIX6711wsK / yp9l1lXXT / xAAbEQADAAIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQIDEhQxcf / aAAgBAwEBPwGZVHHeqZJl6nw // 8QAHREAAQMFAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAECEQMTFDJRcf / aAAgBABEpPGG67hkLMIKUNMD ZLPBcOUbtB79zEi4F5QArUZdOEcsv6xLjzCfO7 / xAAjEAACAQQBAwUAAAAAAAAAAAABEQAhMVFhEEFxgbHB0eHw / 9oACAEBAAE / IXgEkSSGifF4 / t0kRdLh6Ig6zDKxrbjYJPqnKui + nyMWIGRkVKnsrmuIWiTl5NsBPcb6E9 / 1Mv8AaPz74 // aAAwDAQACAAMAAAAQ1SA + / 8QAHBEAAgICAwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAERQSFRoeHw / 9oACAEDAQE / EJJZQ6nO30W9RxR // 8QAHREBAAEEAwEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAREAIUGREDGh8P / aAAgBAgEBPxCZQ3tqhWUwC4iZt5Xc + ZW3 / 8QAHhA BAQACAQUBAAAAAAAAAAAAAREAITEQUaHB8JH / 2gAIAQEAAT8QGKCSdoCcER2HdlhN4VsKlKJsPzDNlJE3mR00BTI9 / tfeL0OAUu1BUiLuhGuVuzHA4RAqoNq4hSi1VwWUkmxdtcZ9r6x8mT4PbPJdH // Z "/> <img clbad =" content-media__image picture "itemprop =" contentURL "alt =" Yellow Jackets gather in the city (AFP) – Yellow Jackets gather Saturday noon in Bourges, in the center of France – Photo: Guillaume Souvant / AFP "data-src =" / 2019 / Z / V / xyBdFXQJShG2IEZzwvtA / bourg

The city of Bourges, located in the center of the country, was chosen.

The city of Bourges, located in the center of the country, was chosen for the concentration of yellow vests to facilitate the participation of protesters from other provinces.

The Deputy Minister of the Interior, Laurent Nunez, promised in a Twitter message "zero tolerance" against rioters. "In case of confusion here, as in all France, we will give a very firm answer," said Nunez, who is in Rouen (about 150 km from Paris).

The first demonstration, on November 17, gathered about 290,000 people. Many wore the fluorescent yellow vest – a mandatory element in French vehicles – which eventually became a symbol of the new wave of demonstrations.

Since then, France has been confronted with a series of roadblocks, ambulance protests and high school student protests.
