Cronología de las protestas de los "chalecos amarillos"" en Francia "

December 10, 2018 - Aumentan las presiones para que el presidente francés Emmanuel Macron anuncie medidas concretas para calmar las protestas violentas cuando se dirija a la nación la noche del lunes, y rompa un prolongado silencio ampliamente considerado como agravante de una crisis que ha sacudido al gobierno y al país entero.

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.
