Large-scale protests of the “yellow vest” movement will continue across France, leader of the leftist party France Unbowed and former presidential candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon said on Monday.
“In the face of the large-scale indignation [by French people] against the fact that some have everything and others have nothing, the president thinks that distribution of money will be enough to calm the current stormy outrage of the people… The fifth action of the civil revolution in the country next Saturday will be a time of great mobilization of the people,” Melenchon said on Twitter, commenting Macron’s appeal.
Benoit Hamon, another former presidential candidate and the leader of the Generation leftist political movement, in turn, has also condemned Macron’s policy as benefiting the rich.
