LIVE: IX Yellow vest protest against Macron’s policies “Paris is ours”

Yellow Vest protesters are demonstrating for the ninth week in a row in Paris on Saturday, January 12. Last Saturday, around 50,000 protesters demonstrated on the streets of various French cities.

In Paris, French government spokesperson Benjamin Griveaux was evacuated from his offices as protesters seized an abandoned forklift and rammed it into the building’s front entrance. In other demonstrations, protests were met with tear gas as rioters burned cars and set barricades on fire. 
 The French government has now suspended prices hikes, risen wages for low-income earners and cut taxes for pensioners, but protests continue nevertheless.
