Macron Surveys the Wreckage: Massive ‘Yellow Vest’ Revolt in Paris Over Sky High Fuel Prices Leaves 133 Injured In France’s Worst Riots in 50 Years

Graffiti is removed from the Arc de Triomphe 24 hours after ‘gilets jaunes’ protesters stole assault rifle from cops, attacked police, burned cars and left 133 injured in France’s worst riots in 50 years

Say what you like about the toughness of Parisiennes, call them ‘cheese-eating surrender monkeys‘ if you like, but I’ll tell you what. When the French people have had enough with their government, they don’t mess around. This weekend, ‘yellow vest’ protesters literally and actually sety Paris on fire, attacked the cops and burned cars until they exploded.

What were they so, pardon the pun, all fired up about? Gas prices. Why are they so high? Because of the liberal and socialist policies of their boy president Emmanuel Macron. You see, people may think they want Socialism, it makes for great campaign rhetoric, but living under Socialism is a different story altogether. Very, very different.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was recently elected to Congress here in America, she is one of the new breed of Democratic Socialists. She got elected calling for free Medicare, free healthcare, free college, and income redistribution. But she did it while wearing a $3,500.00 pantsuit and shoes. And that, my friend, is everything you need to know about Socialism in 3 short sentences.

Any questions?

Violent protesters took over the Champs-Elysees and torched cars, smashed windows and attacked police

FROM DAILY MAIL UK: The protesters occupied the city centre and torched cars, smashed windows with clubs and axes and stole an assault rifle from riot police firing tear gas and water cannon in France’s worst urban rioting for years.

The French President – who faced calls to resign from protesters who scrawled anti-Macron slogans on the Arc de Triomphe – today vowed to bring the rioters to justice as he inspected wreckage on the Champs-Elysees.

The ‘yellow vest’ protests, which began as a rebellion against a fuel tax hike but have expanded into weeks of civil unrest, spread across the country yesterday and ended with 133 people injured, including 23 police officers, and 412 arrested last night.

Macron, who went to Paris as soon as he returned from the G20 in Argentina today, held talks with his prime minister and interior minister at the Elysee Palace nearby.

Images showed the inside of the Arc de Triomphe ransacked, with a statue of Marianne – a symbol of the French republic – smashed and graffiti sprawled on the exterior.

Under heavy security, the French leader spoke with police and firefighters on one of the avenues near the Champs-Elysees, with some yellow-jacketed protesters nearby shouting: ‘Macron resign!’

As the clean-up began today workmen cleared away burnt hulks of cars, scrubbed the defaced Arc de Triomphe and replaced the shattered windows of luxury boutiques in Paris.

A government spokesman said it was ‘out of the question that each weekend becomes a meeting or ritual for violence’ after a second consecutive Saturday ended in violent carnage in Paris.

The capital was calm today but a motorway was blocked by yellow-vested protesters in Lyon, and groups sprung up on social media calling for an ‘Act 4’ next week after three Saturdays of protests.

A state of emergency would allow extra powers to the forces of law and order, ranging from stop-and-searches to carrying out raids on the homes of suspected rioters, amid calls for the army to be called in.

The Arc was among hundreds of buildings attacked by the protesters on Saturday as the Champs-Elysees was reduced to a warzone in the centre of the French capital.
