In France, tens of thousands of yellow vest protesters took to the streets over the weekend for the ninth straight week, with over 200 arrests as clashes between protesters and police broke out in Paris and other cities. French President Emmanuel Macron has called for a national debate in an attempt to quell frustration among demonstrators who say Macron is too detached from the reality of working people in France. This is protester Maxime Raynaud.
Maxime Raynaud: “In the government, there are people who don’t want to let go of anything. They’ve lived in it. It’s their world—fraud, think of their own advantage. They have no reason to let go. They don’t know better. And it’s the same for us: We have no reason to let go. We don’t know anything else but misery. So we’re best enemies.”
