French yellow vest protestors have set fires along a march through Paris to drive home their message to a government they believe is ignoring the poor: that rebuilding the Notre Dame Cathedral after its recent fires, isn’t the only problem France needs to solve.
The protests marked the 23rd straight weekend of yellow vest actions against Macron’s centrist government, which they see as favouring the rich.
Protestors view themselves as standing up for French workers, students, and retirees who have been battered by high unemployment, high taxes and shrinking purchasing power.
