The "protests" are not confined to France.
//The French Yellow Vest protest movement against high taxes has spread to Belgium after protesters clashed with police in Brussels on Friday. Hundreds of Belgians wearing the yellow vests synonymous with the French grassroots movement are believed to have been protesting against living costs, high fuel taxes, and low wages and pensions. Like the protests that have been taking place across France for the past two weeks, protesters blocked traffic, some handing out yellow vests to drivers and bystanders. Small rallies and roadblocks have been taking place in the French-speaking south of Belgium for about two weeks, with roadblocks also occurring in the city of Charleroi, 38 miles south of Brussels.
Violence broke out after police blocked protesters from marching on government buildings in the Belgian capital, with two police vehicles reportedly attacked, one of which was overturned and another set on fire, while traffic lights and road signs were also damaged. Riot police responded with water cannons and tear gas, and police charged around 60 people with disturbing public order.
Brussels city police spokesman Ilse Van De Keere said, “Our officers started to use water cannons after they began throwing objects. They were throwing pool balls.” Some protesters chanted “We are the people!” and held up signs reading, “Union is Strength” and “Shame on the Police.” One female protester told Agence France-Presse, “As in France, there are the very, very rich who are high up and then there are the very, very poor who are becoming increasingly poorer.
“A time will come when we have millions of people on the street.” //

//Once again Parisians woke up on Sunday after a very rough night. Burnt cars, broken shop windows and rioters running through the streets were all they saw and heard.
For the third weekend in a row, the ‘gilets jaunes’ played an all-day cat and mouse game with police forces, leaving the French government to consider whether or not to call a ‘state of emergency’ for the French capital and order the military to come in and restore order//
