France’s gilets jaunes or yellow vest uprising now into its ninth week of street demonstrations is a declaration of change. The key demands of organizers have not changed.
They wish nothing less than the resignation of French President Emanuel Macron and the repudiation by the French government of the globalist world order.
"The Yellow Vests mobilized over rising gas prices mainly caused by a new tax on diesel fuel which has jacked up prices 16% in 2018."
French workers across that country are demanding that things change.
They are sick of decades of stagnant wages, of being crushed by taxes, the constantly increasing cost of daily living.When Macron set the date for a carbon-tax expressly levied to fight climate change, the yellow vests came out of the trunk (boot).
French taxpayers, like many Canadians, see how the moneyed business class and ruling elites, which increasingly dictate how we live, are growing richer.
France’s yellow vest uprising is a declaration of coming change.
A fundamental shifting away from a decades old political paradigm that continues to seek control of our behaviors. Liberty is being erased from western societies virtually without regard for the party in control.
“We are not political people; we do not belong to a union, we are citizens,” said Didier Lacombe, a retiree who lives on a fixed income near Éragny, a small town about an hour west of Paris.It is not just President Macron freaking. Make no mistake, Macron’s entire En Marche! (Forward) legacy is about to collapse. Angela Merkel and the EU Commission are likely suffering panic attacks at seeing their European experiment slip farther towards the dustbin of history.
That Macron has unleashed massive police power against gilets jaunes protesters is worrying enough—it may be like a sticking a finger in the dike—but is the EU giving the orders?
The bottom line is this. Whether it is the gilets jaunes in France, yellow vests in Canada, or elsewhere what these protests truly represent is a threat to the elitists of the world’s globalist establishment.
