The French eurosceptics are active against a background of widespread discontent
The great demonstration of "yellow vests" seems to frighten everyone. And not only in France. Thousands of demonstrations of dissatisfaction with rising fuel prices have affected several European countries.
Closed shops and Parisian cafes. The Louvre does not work and cancels visits to the Eiffel Tower, according to the plot of TSN. The week . Parisians and stray tourists watching rare armored cars for the destruction of barricades and tens of thousands of policemen picked up by police in anxious and orange columns of protesters who, for the fourth time, turn in the throat of the French capital. Act No. 4 – the so-called promotion of today.
Yellow fluorescent vests have become the symbol of invisible France, which wants the government to finally pay attention. France, where every person in ten earns a minimum subsistence of 1,100 euros a month, while the average cost of renting a house in the country is 630 euros. In this relatively cheap Parisian neighborhood, you can only remove a studio of 16 square meters.

Thousands of protests over rising fuel prices were spreading over several European countries. In Brussels, on the eve of a thousand protesters, they tried to break into the European Parliament building and clashed with the police. In France, 1723 people were arrested. More than 120 protesters and two dozen police officers were injured during a collision.
A typical representative of the yellow vests movement is a resident of the French hinterland, where there is no developed public transport, and therefore, work and life depend on their car. For a liter of the 95th French, donate 1.50 euro and the daily work of the inhabitants of the suburbs and villages over a distance of 30 to 40 kilometers. The intention of the authorities to levy a few cents of excise tax on gasoline was the last straw for them. And they went out to block highways and refineries.
Initially, the demonstrations took place in a calm, but mass action – it is very attractive for many political forces to avoid joining them. The police have already said they have discovered professional provocateurs who have come deliberately to Paris for the sole purpose of breaking the chaos. The results of their actions on Saturday – dozens of cars burned, shops destroyed and stolen, a painted triumphal arch, broken statues, not to mention a hundred wounded. And too many of them belong to movements of the far right and left, to anarchists and other radical groups to call it a spontaneous explosion.
This huge golden barrier of the Tuileries Garden, just steps from the Louvre last night, trembled and landed on the ground. She grabbed one of the protesters with her weight. A man miraculously survived. The center of Paris has never experienced such a level of aggression – Saturday, the center of the city had to bypass the party
If two-thirds of the population backed the yellow vest at the start, all the French people are now worried about the "aggression" of those who came to declare disagreement with Makron's Cabinet decisions. Following the riots on Saturday, the security forces carried out dozens of arrests and the authorities accused radicals of incitement to hostility in the country. And for a long time to find out who these radicals are not necessary. They immediately responded.
Marin Le Pen – the leader of the Right and Jean-Luc Melanshon – his ideological antipode in the form of a spell, which runs the left at the same time, have declared – to protest, and no one will encourage vandalism. But how it turned out that the opposing forces were in the same yellow vest in full Paris. These two ideological enemies are a bit all together – and they have united to put pressure on Emmanuel Macron.
The appeals are also identical – the French president is required to dissolve the National Assembly and hold extraordinary legislative elections. What they want to do in Parliament is also clear: the far right and the far left in France are opposed to the European Union and sympathize with Putin.
The problem is that there is a reasonable suspicion that Putin is responding to each other. Therefore, the pro-European Macroen fiasco, against a backdrop of demonstrations, would have become the greatest gift of radical Europeanists and Russophiles. Are they sincere when they say that they are unacceptable in the French capital?
Ukrainians also have something to worry about – Macron is the key figure in the Norman format and the collective response of Europe to the aggressive Kremlin. Meanwhile, Macron does not even contemplate the retirement or dissolution of Parliament, but acts.
French motorists may sigh with relief – from the increase in excise taxes on the fuel from which demonstrations began, refused the authorities. The action has reached the goal and the yellow vests should disappear. But that's the problem, yellow vests are already far from being motorists. And they seem to have just pulled out the muscles and said that Emmanuel McConnan was late.
These acts are not enough for them. At the beginning of the week, the French president, after a long silence, should make a long-awaited declaration: the whole world ensures that a Ukrainian president, pro-European and friendly, can escape a political crisis that can seriously undermine the stability of Europe and please the contrary to Le Pen, Melanshon and their Russian friend.
