France: Protests continue in Toulouse after Macron commitments
Yellow Vest protesters gathered by the hundreds in Toulouse on Saturday, for the movement’s first outing since French President Emmanuel Macron attempted to address the protesters’ concerns in a major speech on Thursday.
Footage shows protesters caught in clouds of tear gas and marching through the streets of Toulouse.
France has been rocked by six months of weekly protests by the Yellow Vests movement, in which tens of thousands gathered on the streets every Saturday since November 2018 for a variety of grievances ranging from taxes on fuel to income inequality.
On Thursday, after weeks of several weeks of the so-called 'Grand Debate,' in which Macron said he had taken note of the French people's grievances, he responded with commitments to put the climate at the heart of his policies, address tribalism and Islamism, as well as a rethink of European border policy.
