At least one protester suffered a severe injury in Paris on Saturday as the Yellow Vests took to the streets of the French capital for the 23rd week in a row.
Yellow Vests protests brought clashes and tear gas back to the streets of Paris, despite politicians’ calls for ‘unity’ in the wake of the Notre Dame fire. For protesters, the response to the fire only showed more inequality.
Saturday’s protests mark the 23rd straight weekend of anti-government demonstrations, but the first since Notre Dame de Paris went up in flames on Monday. Officials were quick to criticize the protesters for returning to the streets so soon after the disaster.
