The first time Le Monde wrote Yellow Vests
During the October 17 protest, the Yellow Vests showed up to support high school students. The term first appeared in Le Monde as early as 1950, when it referred to the most sophisticated spectators at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.
French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez warned of potential violence and unrest during demonstrations in Paris, noting that authorities have received significant calls for disruption from criminal groups and political movements. According to Saudi Gazette, Nunez urged police to remain mobile and responsive, stating that different groups might attempt to provoke confrontations by targeting security forces, public institutions, or businesses.
Protests are expected to involve French students and Yellow Vests demonstrators protesting against rising living costs, such as high fuel prices. Ajel English reports that 70,000 police have been deployed in response to fears of looting and renewed unrest.
