Yellow vests Hold Protests for 46nd Consecutive Weekend in Paris


"On est là, on est là
Même si Macron ne veut pas, nous on est là
Pour l'honneur des travailleurs et pour un monde meilleur
Nous, on est là."

"Here we are, here we are
Even if Macron doesn't want here we are
For the worker's honor and for a better world
Here we are."

Yellow vests 45nd protest meets climate march: police everywhere


Watch live now.
As predicted this Saturday would be a risky day.
This is the 45nd Yellow Vest protests and the climate march brought a lot of people to the streets of Paris. 
Now it's like a battlefield for the police is everywhere with their weapons. (click on the images to enlarge.)

Yellow vests Hold Protests for 39nd Consecutive Weekend in Paris


Another Saturday, another protest. "Police partout, justice nulle part."
This is the beginning of the protest and the number of policemen armed as if they were in war is appalling.
Watch here or here live now.

Yellow vests Hold Protests for 38nd Consecutive Weekend in Paris











Another Saturday for the Yellow Vests protests this time an homage to Steve Maia Caniço, killed one month ago, and remembrance of Zineb and Adama. "Who killed them?" is a question that will always be at the protests from now on.
In Nantes the police attacked the manifestants. In Paris they are at the Republic Square but no violence till now.
To be updated.

Steve Caniço the French man killed by the police


Video shows the police crackdown

On June 21 France celebrates "La fête de la Musique" - Music's party.
This year policemen in Nantes has cracked down on those who were partying in Nantes next to The Loire river.
This video published by the newspaper "Libération" shows the brutality of the police maybe already addicted to severely hurt their fellow citizens each Saturday during the Yellow Vests protests.

Steve Caniço was among these people in the south of l'île de Nantes but he disappeared maybe among the seven who has plunged in the river during the crack down.
One month later his body was found in the river. Yes, it took one month to find his body.

There will be an involuntary homicide investigation, another one putting another death in the list of possible homicides by the French police.




This is Steven. RIP

Yellow vests Hold Protests for 36nd Consecutive Weekend in Paris


There they are protesting for eight months.
The police changed the strategy with the policemen in cars and not in front of the cortege as always.
The protesters are calm till the moment.
I'm sure I'll have to update later.
I'll leave a live video just in case someone comes here in the next hours (mom?).



Update:
This Saturday the movement "Truth for Adama" is part of the Yellow Vests protest.


Strangely not a single policeman was at this part of the protest.
In times of Steve Bannon helping right wings around the world it is a detail that cannot be unnoticed.

Know Adama's case:

Yellow vests Hold Protests for 35nd Consecutive Weekend in Paris


 Right: uniting to start the protest Left:  picture already during the manifestation. Below... no comment.
Yellow vests are protesting today one more time. Not all the protesters are wearing a yellow vest so that they are not easily recognized by the police always cracking down on them.
This is shameful and against all rights. But they don't stop. Why they wear a war uniform is beyond comprehension.

Macron dancing the song demanding him to resign.

Macron dancing Yellow Vests song:

"Ouais gilet jaune, ouais gilet jaune
Macron démission
Macron démission
Macron démission
Macron démission
J'ai dit Macron démission (Allez démission!)
Macron démission (Démission!)
Macron démission

Macron démission"

Entire lyrics here. I think it's clear that "démission" means "resign" but I speak French and my maternal language is Portuguese. Translation for this part:

"Yeah yellow vests, yeah yellow vests
Macron resign
Macron resign
Macron resign 
Macron resign
I say Macron resign (Go resign)
Macron resign (Resign!") ...

UPDATE:
The police is throwing gas and being physically violent to the protesters:

In the Bastille Square the police is everywhere.
Not a single image yet.

Yellow vests Hold Protests for 34nd Consecutive Weekend in Paris

As always the presence of a military police to protect the protesters... oops, no, to crackdown with weapons used in wars. Some lost one eye, others a hand or injuries these weapons cause. What kind of gas are they using? 
But they keep resisting.
