Breitbart: One Dead, Dozens Reported Injured Across France as Protesters Blockade Roads over Macron’s Fuel Tax Hike.
One female protester has died in France after a woman drove into a crowd blocking the road, the driver allegedly in a panic as she was trying to get to daughter to the hospital.
Interior Minister Christophe Castaner confirmed that there has been a fatality at a protest in Point-de-Beauvoisin, in the south-eastern region of Savoy, reports Le Parisien.
The victim was hit after a woman drove into a group of some 50 “Yellow Vest” protesters who were blocking the road on Saturday morning.
The BBC reports that the woman was desperate to get her daughter to the hospital and was sent into a panic as protesters surrounded her car and began hitting her roof. She then accelerated her car into the crowd. She was later taken into custody, said to be in a state of shock.
Media reports that there have been some 50 other injuries across the country, including in the northern region of Arras where a 71-year-old man was hit by a car. In the northern town of Hazebrouck, a lorry driver mounted a pavement and injured two protesters.
In what is possibly the largest coordinated protest against President Emmanuel Macron’s reforms since he took office 18 months ago, media reports that between 1,000 and 2,000 rallies have been organised across the country on Saturday with between 50,000 to 120,000 people in attendance. more here
A desperate lady, trying to get her daughter to the hospital, panics and runs a protester over that was blocking the road. It’ll be interesting how this plays out.
Has anyone ever “mounted a pavement “?
They seem to have more balls than people from California
Protesters played stupid games, it sounds like at least one of them got a stupid prize.
Macron and the virtuous EU rulers are just witnessing the beginnings of pushback against their climate change thingy.
Human nature generally allows us to compromise in order to adapt to societal changes. Once elitist policies begin to effect their pocketbooks, they begin to push back.
Shame they didn’t have the courage to protest against the Eritrean invasion.
Yellow Vests be damned. France is dead.
France has become a shithole filled with islamic slime from the mideast and africa who defecate in the streets, rape, steal and murder.
The French don’t make a peep.
But raise the tax on fuel and they riot in the streets.
They have their priorities screwed up, but that’s nothing new for socialist France.
Maricon should just ‘splain that the higher taxes are fo da l’il chillens!
Bien! Tres bien!
