02:29Hundreds of 'Yellow Vest' protesters took to the streets of Paris on Saturday in a new round of anti-government demonstrations.
The protesters were seen marching, holding flags and banners and chanting slogans, while police were seen patrolling around the demonstration.
"There is no democracy in France, it's just make-believe," said Andre, one of the protesters. "Democracy, by definition, means there need to be elections, but ministers are not elected."
Mr Valentine, another protester, said, "We're seeing the government brutalising the return to school, with 12 million children who will suffer social distancing, who will suffer isolation. We have a big problem in our society, the word 'liberty' is being tarnished."
The 'Yellow Vests' movement began as a grassroots citizen protest in November 2018 and quickly spread across France. It started as a protest against a proposed fuel tax but later turned into a wider movement against the status quo.
