Frankreichs “Gelbe Westen” Proteste - Chronik

December 10, 2018 - Druck auf Präsident Emmanuel Macron wird stärker, er soll Montag Abend sein Stillschweigen brechen und konkrete Maßnahmen bekanntgeben um die Demonstranten zu beruhigen, die nicht nur die Regierung sondern auch das Land in eine immer stärkere Krise stürzen.

Macron will speak from the presidential Elysee Palace at 8 p.m. (1900 GMT), an Elysee official said. The official wasn’t authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.

France deployed around 89,000 police but still failed to deter the determined protesters. More than 125,000 “yellow vests” took to the streets Saturday around France with a bevy of demands related to high living costs and a sense that Macron favours the elite and is trying to modernize the French economy too fast.

The capital Paris was particularly badly hit, with windows smashed, cars burned and shops looted, as 10,000 people took part in demonstrations.

Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire described the situation as a “catastrophe for businesses” and the economy.
