As the lockdown in France came to an end on May 11th and Yellow Vests protesters called to a new protest for May 16th, some retailers gathered against Yellow Vests movement. The mayor of Toulouse, Jean-Luc Moudenc, came to show his support. Only a dozen of retailers gathered. The retailers' gathering as well the Yellow vests gathering were forbidden by the Prefet of Haute-Garonne.Some skirmishes happened between retailers and the few Yellow vest protesters who were here. Nearly everyone wear a protective mask as the SRAS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic goes on. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
