Yellow Vests and supporters took to the streets of Paris today to protest against President Emmanuel Macron's policies on Saturday, a day before the second round of the French presidential election.

Demonstrators were seen holding signs calling for fiscal and social justice, direct democracy and an end to elected officials' privileges. Other participants carried Palestinian flags and anti-climate change signs.
