On Saturday, December 1, the third wave of protests of “yellow vests” swept across France, once again demonstrating that something like this had already happened in one Eastern European country.
Thus, the Minister of the Interior of France, Christophe Castaner, commenting on the unrest that unfolded the day before in the center of Paris, noted that behind the seeming chaos that was caused by the “yellow vests”, a “strategy controlled by professionals” is seen.
In turn, police chief Michel Delpuek noted that the protesters, in fact, were divided into two groups: ordinary demonstrators and aggressive radicals who participated in “unreasonable violence”. Thus, among the nearly four hundred people who were detained in the police, the majority are “strong men aged 30 to 40 years.”
Prosecutor of the French capital Remi Heiz, in particular, noted that many of those arrested came to Paris from the province specifically to participate in protest actions. At the same time, there are many “socially insecure” among them.
This is also written by the French media. Some journalists were able to identify the instigators of clashes with the police. They differed from the mainstream in that they wore ski masks and balaclavas that hid their face. It is on their conscience that the most radical crimes, including the attack on law enforcement officers and acts of vandalism.
Recall that on Saturday, five thousand policemen were brought to the streets of Paris due to the third wave of unrest that has been shaking France for several weeks. Experts have repeatedly stated that the events unfolding in a European country are very similar to typical “color revolutions”, comparing what is happening with the Ukrainian Euromaidan in 2014, the outcome of which was a coup d’état. It is worth noting that representatives of the “yellow vests” have already managed to officially declare that they require a change of government in the republic.
