On November 20, the yellow vest movement in France celebrated its third
anniversary with a 158th weekly "protest", including a nationwide demonstrationin Paris. At the same time, the 19th weekly day of protest against "sanitarypassports", discrimination and compulsory vaccination was held throughout thecountry. ---- The Paris March, organized by "yellow vests" and "citizens inanger", was formally authorized by the authorities. The participants gatheredfrom 11 a.m. on the square of the Pacific Battalion in the 12th arrondissementand at 2 p.m. intended to move through the city along the boulevard and bridge ofBercy, the Austerlitz embankment, the Hospital Boulevard, the streets of Bobillo,Tolbiak and Alesia to the Place Victor and Helene Bache in the 14tharrondissement of Paris. The demonstrators' slogans were directed againstcompulsory vaccinations and "sanitary passports", vaccination of children againstcovid, against reforms of the pension system and unemployment insurance, forsocial and tax justice, direct democracy, lower prices for fuel, gas andelectricity ..."Happy Anniversary," Yellow Vests! We will not back down despite our dead andwounded, "was the leitmotif of this demonstration, in which social, economic andpolitical demands were combined with slogans against the" sanitary dictatorship". The fight against the latter was reminded of such inscriptions on posters as:"Passport to hopelessness", "Dictatorship on the march", "I will stop engaging inpolitics when the politicians stop making us laugh" (the inscription on theportrait of the famous comedian Kolyush in the forefront of the procession) ...Even before the start of the march, the police grabbed two people because of theimage in which Biden, Macron and the prefect of the Parisian police werepresented in an obscene pose. Immediately stones and bottles were thrown at thegendarmes, they were forced to retreat ...The demonstration, as usual, moved under the dense "tutelage" of the police andgendarmes, who repeatedly provoked the participants. Since this time there was asolid "black bloc" among the protesters, these provocations were duly rebuffed.Shortly before 15.00, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, on the other side ofthe Seine, near the Qué de la Gare metro, clashes broke out between its activistsand the repressive forces. The gendarmes repeatedly used tear gas and batons;protesters threw bottles, trash cans, even food, etc. on them. There weresporadically clashes along the way; demonstrators erected burning barricades fromgarbage cans and fruit crates (from a closed market on Boulevard Vincent Oriol),and demolished building structures. In many places, fires blazed, and firebrigades extinguished them ...A large police force surrounded the procession near Piazza Italia. The guards ofthe capitalist order turned gas against the front ranks of the protesters todrive them away. In response, everything that came to hand flew into them.Protesters in black chanted anti-fascist slogans. "Strike, blockade, Macron, getout," was heard from the ranks of the demonstrators, among whom were all sorts ofpeople - young people and pensioners, Parisians, residents of Ile-de-France andpeople explaining that they came from different regions ...It turned out that the actions of the forces of protection of the capitalistorder were poorly coordinated: they were in complete confusion and because of thelarge influx of demonstrators. The protesters dispersed and continued to fight.After 4 pm, the skirmishes continued. There are wounded ...Demonstrations were also scheduled in Lyon, Strasbourg, Lille, Grenoble and inmany other cities. In addition, November 20 was declared a nationwide roadblockade day.
