The so-called “yellow vest” protesters have written an open letter to French President Emmanuel Macron in response to his New Year’s speech and called for new demonstrations on Saturday.
“Anger will turn into hatred if you – you and your supporters – continue to look from your pedestal at the ordinary people as beggars,” the letter stated appealing to Macron.
The letter, which said that Macron “failed to understand the legitimate expectations of the French people,” was published on Thursday by the Facebook group called “La France en colere” (Angry France).
