France: 'Yellow Vests' clash with police in Paris as protests hit 17th week
Hundreds of 'Yellow Vest' protesters took to the streets of Lyon on Saturday, as the demonstrations entered their 17th consecutive week.
Footage shows demonstrators marching through the city and facing off with police. Several people who appear to have sustained injuries during the protests can also be seen receiving medical attention.
The 'Yellow Vest' movement, one of the largest French demonstrations in recent history, has seen demonstrations throughout France on every Saturday since November 2018 and has also inspired similar protests in other European states.
While the protests were first called in opposition to a proposed fuel tax, they have since evolved into a movement opposing the Macron administration as a whole.
____________
Cientos de manifestantes de "chalecos amarillos" salieron a las calles de Lyon el sábado, por 17ª semana consecutiva.
Los manifestantes marcharon por la ciudad y se enfrentaron a la policía. Varias personas que resultaron heridas durante las protestas recibieron atención médica.
El movimiento de 'chalecos amarillos', una de las manifestaciones francesas más grandes en la historia reciente, ha marchado todos los sábados desde noviembre de 2018.
El movimiento comenzó como una protesta contra un impuesto sobre el combustible propuesto, pero desde entonces se ha convertido en un movimiento antigubernamental.
