PRINCIPAL PICTURE edit

What the fuck is this first picture ? It does not look like a protestation but like carnival. Come on do a little effort and chose a better one .... -_-

The yellow vest protests are still going on edit

The protests of yellow vests are still going on, and the movement has not stopped even today, and especially not after March 14, 2020, which is why two or three members are constantly vandalizing this article, tying this date as the last day of the protest. Stop making fools of yourself and all of us who follow the activities of this movement from the first day of November 17, 2018. You have a bunch of mass and even violent protests that were renewed on September 12, 2020, and changing the goals of these protests. All sources and references are in place. In November and December 2020, anti-security protests were held against government measures with the participation of hundreds of thousands of people, along with hundreds of injured and maimed. In the summer of 2021, the Yellow Vests Movement was the initiator of the Protest against covid passes, also with hundreds of thousands of participants and hundreds of injured, especially from July to October. They protested in March and April this year against Macron and his opponent Marine Le Pen in the presidential elections in France. The French Wikipedia claims that the movement lasts, and I hear from many former and still active participants that the movement occasionally falls asleep and wakes up. If the Yellow Vests movement is shut down, it is certainly not March 14, 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic movement froze its activities to reactivate them after six months from September 12 of that year and remained active during the Anti-Security Action and Protests against covid passports and presidential elections. The French claim that the protests have been alive for the fourth year.

Nothing has been reported here in Australia. At the moment the Ukrainian War and its effects are centre stage which are so dire that French street protests pale into insignificance. What I was looking for are how they relate to previous protests. Aren't Macron's 'reforms' the same as what previous governments had tried? There was one minister, if I remember correctly, who'd activated an emergency paragraph to force the 'reforms' through without parliament's approval. Either the French population is averse to change or the governments are determined to push through stuff that the population cannot stomach. That should be the context, probably. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:D996:648D:FE53:8F4D (talk) 05:00, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Roman numerals edit

... are just a bad idea in general and make the section names less readable. There's also no explanation here why these are being referred to as "acts" instead of "weeks" in the first place – the French-language article at least mentions that the protests have been titled as numbered "acts".
