The legitimacy of the group of eight self-proclaimed spokespersons is questioned by many "yellow vests". In Matignon, we do not really know who will answer the invitation of the Prime Minister.
With new dreaded excesses in the capital this weekend, Matignon is active. At the announcement of the demonstration this Saturday, Édouard Philippe had, from Wednesday morning, tried to clear the ground by proposing a meeting with the "yellow vests" without specifying a date. But in the afternoon, the Prime Minister's Office discreetly issued his invitations for this Friday. Around 16:30, the eight members of the new delegation of the movement were each contacted by SMS.
"The prime minister would like to meet you", it is written, before announcing the motive: to define the terms of the consultation that Emmanuel Macron announced on Tuesday, and which will be launched in all the territories. In this message, there is no mention of a search for a way out of the crisis. "This meeting is only intended to badociate the" yellow vests "to consultation on the ecological transition," says Matignon.

How much will they respond to the invitation set this Friday at 2 pm? Several members of this new delegation of "yellow vests", which would be dissolved today, declined the invitation. The first to refuse the interview was the initiator of the movement, Éric Drouet. From Thursday, this driver has taken his usual place in front of his webcam to explain. He will not cross the door of Matignon or of any ministry so much that "a true delegation will not be formed".
If he has endorsed since Monday the role of spokesperson, it was, he says, to initiate a dialogue with the state. On Tuesday evening, he agreed to talk with François de Rugy, Minister of the Ecological and Solidarity Transition. In hidden camera, he also filmed the face-to-face. From now on, he expects that, in each region, the "yellow vests" designate their representatives to set up a delegation worthy of the name. To date, the conditions for obtaining "representative delegation" as required by Édouard Philippe are not met, according to him.
Structure the movement
Without confirmation, rumors circulated that the number two of the eight spokespeople, Priscillia Ludosky, would also miss the Prime Minister. The one who is presented as number three, Maxime Nicolle, has meanwhile, clearly turned on his heels. This young 31-year-old temporary worker living in Brittany, he said, was bent on the choice of "yellow vests". "I ran a social media poll and the" no "poll for me to win," he says. Figaro.
This result joins the feeling that emerges among the "yellow vests". Many of them question the legitimacy of this group of eight who proclaimed themselves spokesmen for the movement on Monday. "Before any further discussion with the government, it is better to wait until each region makes its representatives known," says Chantal Lapuerta, another figure in the protest. Moreover, many meetings were to be organized this Friday to structure the movement in each department.
As early as Thursday in the afternoon, Édouard Philippe spoke with a first "yellow vest". After walking 340 km from Chalon-sur-Saone to Paris, and on hunger strike since November 19, Patrick de Perglas was received by the Prime Minister. A discreet interview that lasted thirty minutes.
Authorities await a declaration to demonstrate on the Champs-Elysees
Scared by the "unacceptable violence" perpetrated last Saturday in Paris, the Minister of the Interior, Christophe Castaner, and his Secretary of State, Laurent Nuñez, lamented Thursday morning that "two statements have reached the Prefecture of Police" without that "none concerns the avenue des Champs-Elysées". They therefore urged the "authors of the calls to demonstrate to contact the police headquarters without delay in order to identify a place or an itinerary to organize the protection of all". Without waiting, the prefecture has put in residence the merchants of the sector to affix "panels of protection on the panes", of "to remove the stalls, terraces (…), vehicles" and to "close the doors and access" of their establishments next Saturday. Suffice to say that the arrival of thugs is already feared.
