Fuel Maidan: France is in a state of emergency?
For two weeks in France, protests by the local population against the unjustified increase in the cost of automotive fuel (gasoline and diesel) have been ongoing. Discontent has even spread outside this country, about which we Reported earlier.
Protesting Frenchmen are dressed in reflective vests, so their actions are called protests "yellow vests." Since then, hundreds of thousands of people have taken part in the protests. The rallies are accompanied by clashes with the police and the riots and riots surrounding this case.
Now the French authorities are considering declaring a state of emergency in the country. This was stated by representative of the government Benjamin Grivo.
- He said on the air of radio Europe 1.
On December 2, 2018, the President, Prime Minister and Minister of Internal Affairs of the country should discuss this issue at a meeting. After all, the protests of the "yellow vests" in Paris took an unprecedented scale, 110 people were injured, of which 17 were police officers. 270 people were arrested. On December 1, 2018, protests of the "yellow vests" and riots swept almost the entire country.
Water cannons, tear gas and even rubber bullets are used against the protesters. It is outrageous that such measures in the cold season caused outrage in political circles in France, when in the winter of 2013-2014, the Ukrainian authorities tried to extinguish the protests in Kiev. Although this duplicity is no longer surprising.
The French media report that the riots are organized by the extreme right and extreme left groups that have taken root in the yellow vest movement. Criminal elements, bullies and looters pulled themselves up. But all this motley audience, not friends with the law, the "yellow vests" are not able to control.
