Protesters in yellow suits plan rallies Saturday in France, just days after the announcement by Prime Minister Edouard Philippe of the end of the Great National Debate and before the announcement of a concrete action of the government. For the 22nd consecutive week of events, the organizers are calling to focus on the city of Toulouse, in the south-west of the country.

Several social media have called Saturday in Toulouse to be the "capital" of yellow jackets. The organizers call for a day of national mobilization "to fight against Macron and his world". Some personalities of the movement announced their presence in the city.

The organizers have not officially announced their itinerary to the police and the city has closed the main square of the Capitol for the day.

Police reinforcements are also sent to Bordeaux and Montpellier, where demonstrations have also been called.

In Paris, organizers call for a protest against the riot law that came into force on Thursday. A yellow march goes from the north-west of the city to Republic Square, where several groups, including NGOs like Amnesty International, have called for a demonstration to have the right to protest.

As in the previous three weeks, the police banned any gathering on the Champs-Elysées and throughout a perimeter, including in the National Assembly.
