Demonstration is a right in France and it is also the basis of our democracy. So I am absolutely not against the demonstration of the "yellow jackets" if it takes place in a calm, respectful and peaceful way. I also understand that there are people who are angry because prices are rising, in addition to the fact that the economy is not doing very well right now in France, but I think it is a sacrifice that must be made for the future. But as soon as yellow jackets prevent people from working by blocking them, I find it absolutely unproductive. In addition, in many cities, these demonstrations have led to violence and it is from that moment on, when these demonstrations, which are intended to improve life, have very bad consequences: one of the most beautiful streets in the world, the Champs-Élysée has been ransacked, shops have been looted, cars have been burned, civilians and police have been injured. This has economic, political, social and security consequences. In my opinion, this movement goes too far and becomes out of control and now that the government has reversed its decision to raise oil prices, I think it should be stopped for the time being.
To begin, I think that every people has the right to express his opinion and to demonstrate in France. Then, I think that the demonstrations must be authorized. On the other hand, violent yellow-vested demonstrations must be severely punished by the police and the judiciary. The breakers are traitors, they vandalize the street which is paid by the taxes of the people. I understand that the new Macron tax is not accepted by the lower classes and the people who live in the countryside, but this tax is for the fight against global warming. I think that the Yellow-vested should no longer demonstrate in Paris at the Champs-Elysees because it is each time a riot is created. I thing that Macron must give a bonus to the popular classes who live in the countryside and who need a car so that they can buy a new one that pollute less. MABIN Paul TES3

The yellow jackets demonstration lasted a month for the moment, and the MAIN problem is that some things went too far. On the one hand, I guess that I agree with what they fight for. Indeed, it is true that a lot of people work a lot and are they are not remunerated enough, unfortunately ; and we also can clearly feel that people are completely fed up with the gouvernment for around twenty years,I think. On the other hand, breaking buildings, burning cars... in short, destroy everything (including historical monuments and works of art) is definetely not the solution, even though I know some of them pretend to belong to yellow jackets whereas they are just here to destroy. Moreover, they complain about high taxes but destroying everything will just make them increase even more. Furthermore, they are just annoying the citizens instead of the government, that's why I think it's quite stupid. To conclude, I still think that their claims are fair and I share them as well, however, the way they try to make things change is not the good one, therefore, it discredits the protest.
I'm sorry I made mistakes : i should have said "destroying everything" ; and when I said "some of them" I was talking about those who pretend to be a part of the yellow jackets' demonstration, but I didn't say it properly.
Hello, I think on the one hand, that the actions of yellow vested are beneficial to the evolution of society and the living conditions of many French people. However, I think the acts of degradation and violence that took place following the demonstrations give a very bad reflection of the idea. The will to manifest mustn’t be transformed into hatred. Furthermore, demonstrators mustn’t destroy and steal shops because that are not the veritable target of demonstrations. So, perhaps it would be better if there were peaceful demonstrations. That’s my opinion. Guillaume Ts3
First of all, we are in a democracy, so I think we have the right to express our opinions through demonstrations for example. On one hand, I think that this movement is a good thing to reduce taxes or increase the SMIG, because many people in France struggle living with small wages. On the other hand, I think that the movement is a little bit extreme. In my opinion, this is unacceptable to degrade an emblem of the Republic such as the Arc de Triomphe or to attack banks by smashing their windows. To conclude, I think we have to distinguish the movement of the yellow-jackets and the rioters. The majority of the yellow-jackets are pacific but we only see the rioters. Even if they fight for important things such as the rising price of gas.
I would like to begin by saying that I am no yet an adult, I know nothing about professional world, I have never paid a rent every month, taxes and charges, I have never spent money to fulfil a shopping trolley or a gas tank, even if I know how much it costs. However, I think I am mature enough, aware of the world around us to understand the yellow vests movement and give my opinion.
Firstly, I realize how lucky we are to have free medical care, free education... But to my mind, the Macron's policy is benefiicial for the rich and the multinational companies. The very poor, the needy people and the pensioners are the most impacted by taxes. Moreover, the purchasing power has been lowering due to the rising cost of living. We are paying more than before but we get fewer services than before. If we had got more services, I will be agree to pay more but that is not the case. Therefore, I understand the dissatisfaction throughout the yellow-vested protesters.
Nevertheless, I don't put up with violences, anti-social behaviour, arsons which took place over recent saturdays. Rioters and thugs who smashed and looted shops, vandalised the historical monuments, set on fire cars, mugged policemen... have to be sentenced because those acts do not need to exist.
In short, this movement must remain pacific because violence does not solve anything. As a result this movement, demonstrations have been magnifying the stereotype about French people are always complaining.
Hi everyone I made a lot of mistakes in the first two paragraphs, here is the correction :

The yellow jackets are a group of demonstrators, who demonstrate a little for everything and anything, initially it was supposedly for the price of oil, now it is for poverty and other topics like school, the future and again and again and always money. I think these are people who have taken an opportunity to complain and make a mess, I don't see the point of breaking, burning, hitting and damaging the calm of others for 7 cents of gas. I think the government is not reacting as it should because these people have no right to harm public order, and it should have repressed them more than a month ago, but instead it is stopping at their whim and putting France in even more debt than it already has. Thank you to all those people who have not only harmed our happiness and prosperity, who have not only typed and broken everything that moves, who have not only blocked my school or tram lines, burned the garbage cans and I don't know what else, no thank you to these people because thanks to them, it is future generations like me and perhaps my hypothetic children who will repay the price of their moment of glory.

To begin with, yellow-vested protesters are disappointed in raising of fuel price.
In other word, yellow-vested protesters look forward to the drop of taxes. However, yellow-vested protesters are involved in anti-social behaviour. Plainly speaking some gang of youths and thugs take to the streets and join yellow-vested protesters. Consequently they are involved in brawls and some riots. As a result the riot police take a contingency plan to retore order because there was lot torched cars, looting and arsons.
In my opinion, I think that the situation is too dangerous and that the demonstrations are going too far. Another thing, eight yellow-vested protesters have pasted away. So people must be aware of the dangerous situation and stop the mouvement.
At the beginning I didn't like this movement because it was an anger about the increase of fuel, as i am an eco-friendly person I understood that this increase was necessary and I hoped that it was used for an energy transition. However, this event has begun to extend his-self to all duties and to economic problems of peoples in financials difficulties. So now I can only agree with them now because I understand their frustration with the president Macron who prefers to delete the “ISF” and make the poor poorer.
Hi everyone. The yellow-vested protesters have the right to protest in our democracy. I think that their actions are totally justified because actually in France a citizen who wins one thousand two hundred euro can't to live correctly and the president Macron do anything to help this people on the contrary he give more to the rich and less to the people who need it so their demonstration is totally justified. However among the yellow-vested protesters there are breakers who doesn't interesting by demonstrations but by the steals and the fight, this people are the first reason of showdown between policemen and yellow-vested protesters.
To begin, I think that the movement of yellow jackets is too extreme and I don’t understand why they carry on after Emmanuel Macron’s speech. Indeed they got what they wanted. For instance the president of the Republic gave the SMIC increase to them or the cancellation of laws on oil taxes for the next six months in order to have time to find new ideas. So now, I don’t understand why every sunday yellow jackets still demonstrate with violence. To conclude I think that now yellow jackets are stubborn on their ideas conversely to the beginning and they ask too much to the French government : that’s just m’y opinion. Vincent Debanne 1s1
To my mind, yellow-vested demonstration is a complexe situation. On the one hand yellow-vested protesters demonstrate to protest against the rise of several taxes specially the rise of fuel taxes. In fact those protesters manifest because they cannot afford this rise. Apparently there isn't any good reasons that justify this rise and because of that lot of people from the middle class are struggling . On the other hand this demonstration causes adverse effects. for instance protesters block highways which forbid cars to circulate and as a consequence prevents people from working. Furthermore rioters started to break everything in the street like cars or banks. It shows that the situation is no more under control. Lastly I would say that I understand why those people are demonstrating but I don't agree with how they manifest, extreme violence is not a solution. It also shows that France is not doing good, I would even add that the government has to hurry to allow things to change.
Hello everybody, The event is a right in France, so it's normal for people to express their opinions and can manifest and can still to remain respectful. On the contrary, to my mind, the case of yellow jackets has gone far. Protestators should not other from going to work or from going somewhere they really need. For instace, I saw on the internet that yellow jackets prevented a woman from arriving at the hospital with her child who was seriously ill. I understand thet these people are angry because prices are rising, that their wages are not high but they must understand that maybe people are seriously il or that they have problemd and because of them, they can die. To my mind, every person has the right to protest but not breaking monuments, hurting police officers or even vandalizing shops.... This is inadmissible .
Hello everyone, I made a lot of mistakes , I am sorry but here is the correction : ... and manifest instead of and can manifest ... the case of yellow-vested protesters have gone too far instead of the case of yellow jackets has gone far . ...should not prevent others from instead of should not other from... For instance instead of For instace ... seriously ill instead of seriously il ...they have problems instead of they have problemd
As a starting point we can define the movement “yellow jackets” like people who demonstrate against different lows from the government. I think there is two different types of “yellow jackets” and that’s what I would like to talk about.
On the one hand we have the “sincere yellow jackets” : people who want to express their discontent. They have small wages and at the end of the month it can be difficult because there is a lot of things that they need to paid and even if they go to work every day, it is not enough to by the necessary for a normal life. This people “fight” for a good cause and to have a better daily life. Speaking for myself I’m for their demonstration because everyone can be in trouble one day, nobody is untouchable. When I write this blog post the president, Emmanuel Macron, has already proposed some ideas of evolution.
On the other hand we have the “troublemakers” : those are the people who are going to the demonstration only to destroy some things like shop windows and take this opportunity to steal some shops for example. As far as I’m concerned I totally disagree with them, it can take off the right to demonstration and it can be terrible for the democracy.
To sum up “yellow jackets” fight for good causes and I think they should be able to express themselves, but we need to make the difference between “the yellow jackets” and the “troublemakers” it’s two different things. Clara Porcier--Bertels TES3
hello everyone, I think everyone is free to do what he wants so yellow-vested have the right to demonstrate. However I don’t agree with some people who are not there to protest but who are there to do disarray because I find it pitiful that some destroy stores and steal what is inside when it does not belong to them, or even if they destroy historical monuments for no good reason. I think that by doing that they are attacking victims and they forget that they are people who are in the same situation as them. What they did was no use except to make people sad and add taxes. Don’t do to others what you don’t want us to do to you. Zata 1s1
Hello, sorry I made some mistakes: -yellow-vested protesters -disorder -to destroy -it's not "when it does not belong to" but "when they don't belong" - it's "don't want them to do to you"
The yellow-jackets mouvment is a social demonstration, not framed by the government at the beginning. It began in october 2018. This demonstration got more and more important and covered by medias each week. First of all, France is a free country, the french citizens have the right to express themselves. Indeed, the yellow-vested protesters assert a better purchasing power for a better life. They are asking an amelioration of wages to live at ease. Then, this protest expanded to high school students who use it to fight for their opinions: to stop « Parcoursup » (a program aiming to select and bring out the so-colled « best » students) However, the demonstration also expanded to other people who don’t want to protest the same way. They are called the « casseurs ». Especially, in Paris, the « casseurs » are numerous, they devolue, break, and cause a lot of problems to the government and to the policemen. Therefore, I believe the yellow jackets mouvment started from a good cause which is what the « real » yellow-vested protesters are doing. It is bad that people other than them take advantage of that to settle accounts with the State (especially the president) Maha 1S1
Hello, I think that French people don’t realize how lucky they are to live in a country like France. Indeed, education and health are almost free, while in another country it would be very expensive. It’s free so the government has to find the money elsewhere (taxes for example). Furthermore, some protesters take the opportunity to degrade, destroy France symbols like Arc de Triomphe or hurt policemen, symbols of justice. Most of the yellow vested believe that nothing can happen to them, and ask more and more. Some talk about revolution and I absolutely don’t agree, Frenches are never happy and when they are not happy they make strikes, they protest, basically they don’t know what to do. That’s why I don’t agree with this movement and I hope that it will stop soon because the yellow vested block people so they can’t go to work. Thank you for reading and goodbye
Hi ! I made some mistakes and here is the corrected version:
As a starting point we can define the “yellow jackets protesters” movement as people who demonstrate against different laws by the government. I think there are two different types of “yellow jackets protesters” and that’s what I would like to talk about.
On the one hand we have the “sincere yellow jackets protesters” : people who want to express their discontent.

To sum up “yellow jackets” fight for good causes and I think they should be able to express themselves, but we need to make the difference between “the yellow jackets” and the “troublemakers” it’s two different things.
First of all, even if we are children we do have some opinions and I think it’s great to share it with others. The yellow-vested protestors have good reasons to demonstrate but they do it the wrong way. I think it’s good to tell others when you disagree but you don’t have to use violence. Indeed, violence doesn’t fix anything. The yellow-vested protestors failed to change something and I heard that they will continue after the holidays. Besides they are mostly demonstrating because they are not paid enough and have too many taxes but they will have to pay for the damages they caused. So, it’s a little bit stupid.
Hello, Yellow-vesters movement started one year ago and has a huge influence on the image of France has taken on an impressive scale over the months.In fact this movement starts because of social inequalities in the French society.People were revolted and start to demonstrate in all the big French cities because of the price increase on the petrol.The purchasing power was to low as a contribution to the price of gasoline.For me this movement was to violent and annoying for the population particularly for the traders because their trade were ravaged by the breakers.This movement has made heard on a global level what made tourists flee who saw France as an unstable country. Now the movement it is strongly calm but the retirement reform create another movement which demonstrate every week.
I made some mistakes: -image of France. -It has - the increase of petrol price -was too low compared to -too violent -trades was heard -creates - which cause = people to demonstrate
Demonstration is a right in France and it is also the basis of our democracy.

hello everyone, I think everyone is free to do what he wants so yellow-vested have the right to demonstrate. However I don’t agree with some people who are not there to protest but who are there to do disarray because I find it pitiful that some destroy stores and steal what is inside when it does not belong to them, or even if they destroy historical monuments for no good reason. I think that by doing that they are attacking victims and they forget that they are people who are in the same situation as them. What they did was no use except to make people sad and add taxes. Don’t do to others what you don’t want us to do to you.

Hello, sorry I made some mistakes:
Delete-yellow-vested protesters
-disorder
-to destroy
-it's not "when it does not belong to" but "when they don't belong"
- it's "don't want them to do to you"
The yellow-jackets mouvment is a social demonstration, not framed by the government at the beginning. It began in october 2018. This demonstration got more and more important and covered by medias each week.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, France is a free country, the french citizens have the right to express themselves. Indeed, the yellow-vested protesters assert a better purchasing power for a better life. They are asking an amelioration of wages to live at ease. Then, this protest expanded to high school students who use it to fight for their opinions: to stop « Parcoursup » (a program aiming to select and bring out the so-colled « best » students)
However, the demonstration also expanded to other people who don’t want to protest the same way. They are called the « casseurs ». Especially, in Paris, the « casseurs » are numerous, they devolue, break, and cause a lot of problems to the government and to the policemen.
Therefore, I believe the yellow jackets mouvment started from a good cause which is what the « real » yellow-vested protesters are doing. It is bad that people other than them take advantage of that to settle accounts with the State (especially the president)

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI think that French people don’t realize how lucky they are to live in a country like France. Indeed, education and health are almost free, while in another country it would be very expensive. It’s free so the government has to find the money elsewhere (taxes for example). Furthermore, some protesters take the opportunity to degrade, destroy France symbols like Arc de Triomphe or hurt policemen, symbols of justice. Most of the yellow vested believe that nothing can happen to them, and ask more and more. Some talk about revolution and I absolutely don’t agree, Frenches are never happy and when they are not happy they make strikes, they protest, basically they don’t know what to do. That’s why I don’t agree with this movement and I hope that it will stop soon because the yellow vested block people so they can’t go to work.
Thank you for reading and goodbye

Hi ! I made some mistakes and here is the corrected version:
ReplyDeleteAs a starting point we can define the “yellow jackets protesters” movement as people who demonstrate against different laws by the government. I think there are two different types of “yellow jackets protesters” and that’s what I would like to talk about.
On the one hand we have the “sincere yellow jackets protesters” : people who want to express their discontent. They have small wages and at the end of the month it can be difficult because there are a lot of things that they need to pay for and even if they go to work every day, it is not enough to buy what they need for a normal life. These people “fight” for a good cause and to have a better daily life. Speaking for myself I’m for their demonstration because everyone can be in trouble one day, nobody is untouchable. When I write this blog post the president, Emmanuel Macron, has already proposed some ideas of evolution.
On the other hand we have the “troublemakers” : those are the people who are going to the demonstration only to destroy some things like shop windows and take this opportunity to steal some shops for example. As far as I’m concerned I totally disagree with them, it can take off the right to demonstration and it can be terrible for the democracy.
To sum up “yellow jackets” fight for good causes and I think they should be able to express themselves, but we need to make the difference between “the yellow jackets” and the “troublemakers” it’s two different things.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, even if we are children we do have some opinions and I think it’s great to share it with others. The yellow-vested protestors have good reasons to demonstrate but they do it the wrong way. I think it’s good to tell others when you disagree but you don’t have to use violence. Indeed, violence doesn’t fix anything.
The yellow-vested protestors failed to change something and I heard that they will continue after the holidays.
Besides they are mostly demonstrating because they are not paid enough and have too many taxes but they will have to pay for the damages they caused. So, it’s a little bit stupid.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteYellow-vesters movement started one year ago and has a huge influence on the image of France has taken on an impressive scale over the months.In fact this movement starts because of social inequalities in the French society.People were revolted and start to demonstrate in all the big French cities because of the price increase on the petrol.The purchasing power was to low as a contribution to the price of gasoline.For me this movement was to violent and annoying for the population particularly for the traders because their trade were ravaged by the breakers.This movement has made heard on a global level what made tourists flee who saw France as an unstable country. Now the movement it is strongly calm but the retirement reform create another movement which demonstrate every week.
I made some mistakes:
Delete-image of France.
-It has
- the increase of petrol price
-was too low compared to
-too violent
-trades was heard
-creates
- which cause = people to demonstrate
