The Arc de Triomphe daubed with graffiti.
The Champs Elysee cloaked in clouds of tear gas.
It’s becoming a familiar story in Paris.
The famous sights of the French capital turned into a battle ground for the third successive weekend.
‘Yellow Vest’ protesters again venting their fury at the rising price of keeping their cars on the road.
And increasing calls for President Emmanuel Macron to resign.
Facing the biggest challenge to his 18 month presidency, he flew home from the G20 summit in Argentina for an emergency government meeting.
It’s not just next month’s proposed fuel tax rise which is infuriating many, falling living standards are too.
So, how can Macron calm the rising anger?

macron hasnt learnt anything from french history
I’m starting to think the French are a little upset
” a turning point for this government”..i would say it s the end of it
The People — The Great Awakening !! Q. Wwg1wga
it is the people that making him look good money and all if it wasn’t for the people other people there wouldn’t have money
All money to migrants… Welcome to Macrons world!
rebuild a safer home for the people and stop using their money to benefit yourself and his security people things would work out better in the end for everybody and have money invested where it being spent
brexit maybe happen frexit. their purpose want to independent and exit eu, brexit really effect eu membership.
Western countries are rulled by the eluminati or one world order who wants to reduce population and make slave to the rest. if you need proof just go to you tube and type cosmic disclosure. you will understand who is ruling the earth ?
brexit’s effect itself harmful for eu membership.
How about less socialism, less taxes, less immigration and more real freedom, free enterprise and capitalism . Macron needs to take more of Trumps playbook our gas price is @ $1.87 for 3.78 liters here in Missouri and we actual get to vote on taxes. Trumps cut taxes on middle class by 10% our unemployment is at 3.9% and our GDP is at 3.5%. I lived in France from 1983 to 2000 it was never like that. I’m glad I decided to move back to the united states. It really does suck living in France now .
E.Macron …please listen your people …rent home expensive , tax to hight…😰😰😰😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
Macron is making himself stupid and all the world is observing him defeat. all the world see now the People who fight for Freedom against tyranny
Macron is a puppet. It’s obvious.
macron le pion risque au pire d’être remplacé par un autre pion, ça fait des décennies que ça dure et les français sont toujours assez stupides pour croire que les choses finiront par changer à force de mettre les mêmes ordures au pouvoir…
Another clown in power
macron should get the guillotine
I am the central leader of this movement. My request is for less taxation. cut the carbon tax completely and then keep cutting more and more taxes and government freebies where every you see them. That is what I want Mr. Macron.
Trump and Putin HAD their talk at the G20; they dodged the FAKE NEWS. However sophisticated and impressive the forces of NATO is; this whole set-up balances on top of the Euro, which is to go into the abyss soon with a banking systems meltdown in the EU; which will spread worldwide. Famine appears in Europe; Russia runs through the region with its military; and 25 countries and small municipalities all bankrupt together. The melt-down will reach all the way to Australian, where the Ossie dollar also succumbs to the meltdown.Ezekiel 7: 19-22, Psalms 46: 4-6.
DON’T expect Mr Trump to rescue the EU from this disaster, because he won’t. Thumps up, nod nod, wink wink, say no more. THIS is the outbreak of the Great Tribulation; and its not the only war appearing at this time. Do YOU want to see all fiat currencies disappear, together will all financial instruments, including silver and gold, which will be ‘thrown away’ with loathing? Isaiah 2: 18-20. Then KEEP WATCHING.
The war between IRAN and the US, allies has already appeared in the form of economic crushing. Watch what happens when the nuclear assets of Iran are destroyed, and the pilots refuel in Saudi Arabia on their way back.
The EU is bombed with MISSILES. The Middle East is bombed with MISSILES. Iran is bombed with MISSILES.
“The heavens [political powers] pass away with a roaring noise…” The roaring noise of MISSILES 2Peter 3: 10.
Just as this system is over; a new system called by Christ ‘the Kingdom of God’ is to take over the affairs of man, and create an incredible rescue of faithful mankind John 3: 16 Revelation 11: 15, 18 Revelation 7: 9, 14 that will break all records for the rescue of mankind by God, Jehovah. THAT IS WHY THIS HISTORY IS ALREADY WRITTEN.
Insightful people write a blow- by- blow account of what has already happened; and the true God Jehovah has written all this history in advance in the form of prophecy. YOU can survive; who among you will ask for more information?
Al Jazeera is junk, this is tepid and meaningless.
They should just change the names of the months, cut off some heads, and elect a King.
how much is gas in France now and how much will it be?
No more Open Borders, Globalists, Macaron!!
The 70 years cycle is about to close. 1968 was the last date for a profond revolt. A long time indeed between two cycles where the ruling and privileged elite laugh all the way to the bank while the ordinary people slowly shift into the poverty line. Not yet the poverty line of Africa or the Middle East, don’t worry, the system in place will get us there. What’s next?
Macron is the cause for the violence and protests and riots. He the one that’s forcing people out of there homes and causing hunger and death. Giving immigrants everything. Very poor leader except for migrants
get ppl that speak decent English to comment, please
France is run by the EU in Brussels. In effect, they have no ‘representation’. That is what ‘Globalism’ is all about, some unelected lacks ruling your country. However having ‘elected ‘ officials run your country does not seem to work either, like the USA’s one party – two party system.
France would be better off if Germany won the war! Actually the whole world would be better, nicer and much more respectful world for everyone. Germany would have protected their pureness as everyone else’s the best it could be and nations would have followed in that sense
dsm6678: ho no!We would have to speak this awful german language!
What the “Gilets Jaunes” are demonstrating against is the rise of oil price, high taxes for the poor and middle class and cutting taxes for the rich, the rest of France (outside of Paris) being ignored by the government, high suicide rates among farmers and police officers being ignored, poverty rate getting higher… of course the racist in the comments have already jumped to say it’s about immigration. It’s not! Go back to bed!
He is a globalist in the tradition of the Rotenchild CABAL
Careful Macron you dough head. You’ll listen to the people whether you like it or not. That’s the game and you have to play by the rules too.
Let’s hope not.
It’s not like this guy’s ever going to be part of the solution for anybody.
I have ZERO faith in this guy and people like him – and their banking friends – to improve the lives of anyone.
Donald J Trump Has Woke The World!
MACRON IS A SOCIALIST PEANUT HEAD!
If anybody knows how to start a revolution its the French people! I can feel something starting to rise out of the ashes of Europe! You think this is just about the price of a litre of poxy petrol?its about these Liberal traitor governments giving our country’s away to scumbags while they sit back drinking cocktails and watching, the real people are waking up now. Hopefully this is just the start of things to come, we’ll done France! Good luck. 🇬🇧🇫🇷👍🏼
This wouldn’t have happened with Le Pen.
No, under Le Pen riots would’ve started day 1.
Should have voted for La Pen
22min video- could just summaries to ‘No he cant’
Macron has invited radical left People from organisations to France. As ist Merkel. He shall give the presidency up.
I haven’t heard much about this on the msm media. But the issues seem more authentic as many people young and old , female and male are voicing their opinions against the government. Weird cause you never hear the end of the migrant suffering in the msm media. I guess Europeans suffering doesn’t appeal to the msm media. Where is the Catholic Church and its leaders on these who suffer in Europe?
폭력시위는 갑질정치가 원인이다
The united states liberated France from the Nazis and macron suggested they build an army to protect themselves from the US. Good riddance hopefully they imprison or hang him
EU will stick its flag in a pile of ashes
This is a protestation against taxation to pay for “gimmegration”.
Marina Le Pen should had been voted for president.
Macron unites both left wing populists (like me) and literally everyone else in their disgust of him. He is despised
*_The French have always been soft on anarchists, but this time it’s different… Because of the instant communication possible via social media, the government can never win, and, may fall into total chaos which could spread like wildfire throughout Europe… Comments about the rioters not being organized are not true, as these arrogant and Nieve French talking heads will discover… Does this mark the beginning of the end for the E.U globalist agenda?… Britain was very lucky to escape this Europian globalist club fools, run by unelected bureaucratic dictators… As a common market trading union, it worked fine, but the moment they introduced the Euro Dollar, surrendered power to unelected bureaucrats, the corruption within the banking system undermined everything._*
see the egg he got on the head lol💐!!!
What is the average take home salary in france. It’s around 1200 euros. After tax. Then you need to pay rent, food, gas, transport. You have very little left over then you have a president talking about climate change non-stop and increasing taxes on packaging, food, transport to pay for it. They don’t live in the real world. Its way out of whack.
CIVIL WAR in France. THIS is surely the beginning OF THE-END of the cur-sed EU. – French POLICE are also French MEN and WOMEN, as are the French ARMED-FORCES – How much MORE of THIS can THEY all TAKE, before THEY JOIN-THEIR-COUNTRYMEN/WOMEN in this-uprising ??? – Remember what happened in ‘Romania’!!!
I wonder who is the real devil behind that?
It is as clear as water that the violent rioters are american sent agitators to provoke chaos as a respond to Macron´s request for an European army. It´s the US way to destabalize nations to have it their way.
he is mini Blair but not as cool or evil
That’s my president! 😀
Personally, I actually don’t think he deserve this. He actually isn’t a worse president than his predecessors (who were bad presidents, yes but they did not suffer from that kind of discontent). His predecessors created tons of taxes, and Macron created more of them, unfortunately for him, it’s during his mandate that the taxes started to be too numerous and that people began not to be able to live correctly because of those taxes, but Macron is not responsible of 2/3 of those taxes.
But I hope this movement will force our government to change in the better way (more democracy, a better ecological policy, less taxes, better healthcare…).
they can ride on their horses
The English do not have it in them to have a reveloution. Thats why karl marks went to russia.
Eat the rich.
Peacefull demo,s solve nothing
Notice the different reaction from the globalist media when such protests were taking place in Ukraine 2014? Whatever happened to “human rights” and calls for new “democratic elections”?
He’s a rich spoiled puppet of the globalist left, there only for himself and his “friends”. He cares nothing about France and the French people, nor for Europe. Same goes for the traitor Merkel.
Macron WEG Merkel WEG SOFORT
France is never happy, if it’s not Mitterrand, it is Chirac, or Sarkozy or do you remember a guy named Holland, what did he do, I don’t remember, now it’s, Macron, who knows the might be, Le Pen and there will always be always protest and NO Macron will not resign, we all know that extremist left or right or another stuff come to mess up everything, for day or one week…so used to…but it all US President, think of it…his country first? My a….
Time for the French to pull out guillotine again.
Macrone has been shut down a couple of weeks before he wan for to get ANY POLICY RIGHT when he visited or were in BRITAIN and LONDON. HE IS JUST A NOTHING NOW WITH ABSOLUTE FAILURE WHAT EVER AND WHEN EVER HE DO > GET THE CYBER NET WORK RIGHT FIRST WHICH IS NOW THE JEWISH MISLEAD FORM THE SWEDEN TV and they ALWAYS PLAY AS MOST BEFORE CHRISTMAS . SEE JEREMY CORBYNS SHOW AND MURDER ATTEMPT ON THE BRITISH PEOPLES DECISION.
AMUSED HOW MANY GAYS OF TOTALLY BRAINLESS IS HAIL MACRONE HERE WITH NO COMMON SENSE
No. Cause Globolists Suck !!!
The French Chanted, We Want Trump, over, & over !
MSM not reporting.
It is not a globalist agenda to promote climate policies, it is necessarily for survival of humanity and our planet
Go learn English french girl. 4 real it’s a caricature..beekose.. vraiment
It is true that globalization have benefited often urban areas than rural areas. This is why green tax changes are needed. Increased tax on fossil fuels should lead to wage tax reduction
Also, the problem with France is a large and centralised government and administration. So more decentralisation is needed
Basic income policy would deliver better benefits
Europe needs more ecological zones where people can decide locally about fossil fuel vehicles
Yes, France needs lot of reforms by reducing size of the state
Those brave French are in for a long fight. Macron is the last major globalist leader, the EU and bankers will support their man with everything they have.
Maybe if Macron did not send violent police with out with battens and fire arms that fire tear gas grenades and rubber bullets, the end result may have been different. His actions have enraged people who are suffering, and they wont eat cake.

That is what happened when you don’t put your country first. I hope every people will become nationalism. Care for your own country first before other countries.
RIP SOY BOY…LEADER OF THE FUTURE EU-ARMY LOL
I don’t like Macron. He supports bullfighting.
Annonce ta démission !
Annonce la dissolution de l’assemblée nationale !
Annonce la démission de Macron !
vive la france
kick out the banker
Death to Neo cons.
good for them I feel this will be Canada soon if we don’t stop Justin soon
Corporations must pay their taxes and receive no government relief. France is Catholic and the Holy Roman Empire is at stake…
Macron has no sham ! Loser never face his own problem !
Yes but when some provocateurs start damaging small businesses and properties is uncalled for. Everything is a failure , Democracy, Socialism, Globalism the Banks etc there is a lot of Grey Area like Humanity itself.
The French are the repository of freedom of the people . The French Revolution was the spark that ignited europe for this freedom of the people. The French government should always remember that. You cannot thread on the people carelessly. They can rise without warning to fight for this right — Remember the storming of the bastille and the storming of Versailles. When the people talk the cadres should be aware of the ensuing caos. Let the past teach them to whom ‘la patrie’ belongs to—the people.
Need US UK Russia UN army to come in help them. like in Syria did well
Go France !!! Make France GREAT again!!!
In 2022 elect your own Trump!
Ooohhh, you can’t find one. Really??? Let me give you a hint. Find a man with the name Trumpon, say, Francua Trumpon…. The name matters. Also, make sure he has a good looking wife, ala Melania. A beautiful woman won’t marry a jerk….
English Al Jazeera’s failure is news guests speaking a foreign language struggle to make points.
Micron is toasted. nobody gives a fart to that guy.
Clueless guests. The “change” that Macron wants to put France through is FOR THE EU.
THE PROBLEM IS THE EU…and she calls it “his changes”. Macron is a PUPPET for the EU globalists like Rothschild.
Down with Europe! Rise Africa!
Ce cette la ……. These stupid American ,British ,reporters don’t understand the threshold of reaction … And they focas on the crime of violence … They are already there …reactionary … Yes not a lot of thought goes into it… Because they are at reaction stage .. It’s old news repeated and repeated.. Because they speculate and speculate until listeners and audience gets bored… Which is what the mainstream media wants their audience to do tune out be passive………now sports.. …??? However we have media thanks to broad transparent resources …..mainstream will dwindle and the floating voter will drown….vive Le gillet jaune!!!
macron mus auf die strasse und seine. mann stehen !!! sonst nimt es keine ende blut für blut 💪
Macron is such a poison person it is rediculous !!! Not just him the rest of Europe is in retreat from the so called refugee influx after Merkil showed her true intent ! ( DIVIDE AND RULE. )
Diesel fuel is the most efficient, consumer friendly, cleaner than petrol, economical ( for the normal people ). thing in the world for the people to use. Until normal people can afford an all electric society ( like rich people ). The rich will take the choise away from us because it earns them more money to ban it ! Simple .
Marcon & Trudeau are both the exact same, people need to realize these are globalist who were never honest with the people who elected them, they gained power by fraudulent means.
God will certainly punish European s for what they did to Africa
