Hundreds of yellow vest protesters marched through the streets of Paris on Saturday to demonstrate against the health pass, unemployment and pension reforms, as well as COVID-19 restrictive measures.
"The government does not want to meet expectations, that is to say, that we are still today with the CSG (generalised social contribution) crisis of 300 euros ($365) which is bending because the government does not care I pay, and especially the VAT that for me should be 1, 2 percent out of 4,000 first necessity products. We are not answered to the expectations of the handicapped aid that is at 900 euros ($1,094), why not at 1,200 ($1,460) euros?" asked Jean Christian Valentin, a yellow vest protester.
The protest, heavily guarded by riot police, came days after a local court granted 30,000 euros in compensation to Manuel Coisne, a yellow vest activist who had his eye injured in the French capital in November 2019.
The Yellow Vests have been rallying every Saturday in Paris for over a year.
