>PARIS (Reuters) - Rioters set fire to a bank and ransacked stores on Paris’s Champs Elysees avenue on Saturday, in a new flare-up of violence as France’s yellow vest protests against President Emmanuel Macron and his pro-business reforms entered a fourth month. Police fired tear gas and water cannon as the protests turned violent after weeks of relative calm, during which marches had attracted declining numbers of participants. A Banque Tarneaud branch spewed flames before firefighters arrived and rescued a woman and her infant from the building, with 11 suffering minor injuries, the fire department said. Rioters also set fire to an upmarket handbag store and two newsstands on the Champs Elysees, while scattered bonfires burned on the thoroughfare. Protesters hurled cobblestones at riot police through clouds of tear gas in front of the Arc de Triomphe monument, which was ransacked at the peak of the protests in December. Police arrested nearly 240 protesters as rioters looted stores around the Champs Elysees and wrecked the high-end Fouquet’s restaurant. The canvas awning was later set on fire of the swanky brasserie, known in France as the place where conservative Nicolas Sarkozy celebrated his presidential election victory in 2007. Macron cut short a weekend ski trip in the Pyrenees to return to the capital on Saturday night for a crisis meeting with ministers. Police said 42 protesters, 17 of their own officers and one firefighter were injured. The interior ministry estimated 10,000 people had participated in the protest in Paris, compared with 3,000 on the previous Saturday. Nationwide, protesters were estimated at 32,300, compared with 28,600 last week.
>The Paris prefect's office said that protesters will be prevented from marching on to the Champs-Elysees from the streets surrounding the Arc de Triomphe, at the top of the avenue and several nearby areas including the president's Elysee Palace and the National Assembly. There will be similar bans in other major cities such as Marseille, Toulouse and Nice, where President Emmanuel Macron is due to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday. dw.com/en/france-bans-yellow-vest-protests-on-paris-champs-elysees-and-key-sites/a-48031493
>There are events planned at several cities across France on Saturday. Two Facebook groups call on members of the movement to meet at Trocadéro in the 16th arrondissement, with some of them planning to stage a sit-in there. Due to the restrictions placed on protesters in other cities around France (see above for more information), demonstrations have been planned outside of the spaces they have been banned from. For example in Nice, 'yellow vests' are planning to meet in Garibaldi Square, at Le Miroir d'eau in Bordeaux, in the allées Jean-Jaurès in Toulouse and Place de la Republique in Metz. Other protests have been announced in the southern French city of Montpellier, Strasbourg in the east, Lyon in central France, La Rochelle in the south west and, perhaps more surprisingly, the town of Guéret also in the south west, where protesters are planning a "significant event". But not all Gilets Jaunes are planning to congregate in cities. Controversial 'yellow vest' Eric Drouet, who is keen to mix up the approach, is calling for a "total national block" which he intends to do by blocking ports and oil refineries. However true to their tradition, the 'yellow vests' have not revealed the details of this action in an attempt to take the authorities by surprise in the face of the government's new strategy. thelocal.fr/20190322/qa-french-yellow-vests-gear-up-for-war-at-protests-this-saturday
Ça me rappelle en 2017 j'avais une conversation cordiale avec un type de l'UPR, qui disait que les sondages disaient n'importe quoi et qu'on serait bien surpris aux élections. Résultat : 0.9% des voix.
Ils forcent tellement sur internet qu'ils pensent être ultra nombreux.

Did anyone else see on the Ruptly stream the arab looking dude with a huge fucking rolling blue suitcase? It was on like the middle/top tier of the Basilica entrance area that they're at now, and he looked around then rolled the big suitcase away... As if looking for a more densely packed area...

How many more years of holding hands in the street and burning tires?
>more based than anglos or germans >anglo meme It's because of your (perceived?) affinity for faggy shit like wine, cheese, and art that we think you're individually pussies though. It's really just amazing how every single thing we've been fed is a lie for the most part.

What exactly do I need to do, Pierre? I already have rights and the mutual respect of my kin.
Should I travel a couple thousand miles, leave my life behind, just to inject myelsf into the politics of another state or country?

That picture is spot on.
Whoever did that you are a genius.

There were some smart shop owners who didn't close and barricade their shops during protests but instead opened them. Guess how it turned out? Instead of trashing it they actually got much more customers than usual, while on the other hand the ones that closed and used wooden walls not only lost money on not opening but were utterly destroyed.
Vive Macron, mort au GJ. Bande de fdp fainéants et puants mdr
I wonder how they'd react if thousands of Parisians marched to their shitty villages and burnt their cars and looted their shops. They'd cry like the hypocritical little bitches that they are.
Connor Jenkins
On Ruptly protesters are saying they are going to the élysée
educate yourself en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_flag#The_Rainbow_flag >The seven-color peace flag is not to be confused with the similar six-color gay pride flag, which does not have azure (it has turquoise) and the colors are in opposite order: with red at the top.
