His name is Patrick de Perglas and it is the first "yellow vest" received by Edouard Philippe, himself, under the golds of Matignon. This Thursday, this man who left on foot from Chalon-sur-Saône on November 21 to make his demands in Paris, met the Prime Minister,
on the eve of his appointment with a delegation of this disparate social movement, but more and more popular.

This first contact precedes the meeting scheduled for Friday at 2 pm at Matignon, the culmination of two days of meetings started Thursday morning in Matignon to draw the "big consultation" local three months wanted by Emmanuel Macron. Two of the eight representatives nominated but challenged within the movement, Priscillia Ludosky and Eric Drouet, have already been received Tuesday by the Minister for Ecological Transition, François de Rugy. One of them, Eric Drouet, a truck driver from Seine-et-Marne, has already indicated his refusal to go to Matignon, because "no delegation has yet the role to represent the" yellow vests "" , he wrote on Facebook.

See you Saturday on the Champs

Many MPs received an email on Thursday from a "yellowlets1" address, containing a fairly wide list of claims including among others, the SMIC to 1.300 euros net, a housing insulation plan, the end of the tax increase on fuel, retirement at 1,200 euros minimum. On the ground, the "yellow vests" are meeting Saturday, especially on the Champs-Elysees, for the act 3 of their mobilization against fuel taxes and rising purchasing power.

Thursday night, the Minister of the Interior Christophe Castaner announced that the main Parisian artery would be closed to traffic but open to "pedestrians", with "systematic identity checks", by means of a "very tight device, very hermetic.

Police source, a little more than 3,500 "yellow vests" participated Thursday morning to more than 280 "public road actions", including blockages of logistics platforms and fuel depots. Symbol of the ras-le-bol fiscal, access to some perceptions have been blocked. In Montargis (Loiret), eleven "yellow vests" are in custody for having begun to wall the tax center. On the internet, a petition "for a drop in fuel prices at the pump", launched by one of the figures of the movement, exceeded Thursday the million signatures.
