Act 22 Of The Yellow Vest Protest In Nantes
Act 22 Of The Yellow Vest Protest In Nantes, France, on 13 April 2019. The Yellow Vests (Gilets Jaunes) of Loire-Atlantique mobilized for the 22nd weekend since November 17, 2018. While Emmanuel Macron is to unveil measures following the Great Debate, the Yellow Jackets intend to maintain pressure that their demands (Citizen Initiative Referendum, return of the ISF, tax and social justice) are satisfied. Beyond these claims, the procession wanted to claim the release of 15 yellow vests placed in custody the day before while they were making banners for the demonstration.The procession joined the demonstration organized by 51 organizations to preserve the right to demonstrate while just enacted the Anti-Crackers Act, considered liberticide.The demonstration took place in calm. A protester was evacuated unconscious to the University Hospital of Nantes after being jostled during a charge of the Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC) to disperse the demonstration.
