After riots: France's yellow vests want to protest again on Saturday
After the severe riots, France's yellow vests are announcing new protests for Saturday. At the same time, the government is advising on the crisis in Paris - and is not ruling out a curfew.
The Yellow Vest protest movement has announced new demonstrations for Saturday, October 24, in dozens of locations, marking a "2nd act" of protests. The movement, which began in November 2018, protests high living costs and social injustice. In Paris, a government crisis meeting was held, and Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu was to make a statement. Following renewed riots, 351 people were arrested in Paris, with reports of looting and "intolerable scenes" described by Mayor Emmanuel Grégoire.
