Act 17 Of The Yellow Vests Protests

A demonstrator gives flyers for the new film of François Ruffin called 'J'veux du soleil' ('I wanna sun') on the Yellow vest movement. For the Act 17 several thousands of protesters called 'Gilets jaunes' (ie Yellow vests) demonstrated in Toulouse against French President Macon, his governement and its policies. They demand fiscal and social justive, more ecology and the RIC (Citizens Initiated Referendum). Riot police used police water cannon and volleys of tear gas canisters to disperse the crowd. They organized themselves by social networks. Mostly said that the rise of taxes on oil products was the detonator of their wrath against French President Macron and his governement. Toulouse.
