Yellow Vests Protesters Hold 29th Consecutive Week Rally (+Video)

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Tens of thousands of Yellow Vest protesters have marched in the streets of France on Saturday in what is the first demonstration after the European elections.

The mass demonstrations across France continue for a 29th consecutive week, with thousands of people hitting the streets to protest against the government.

The yellow vests rallies initially began in France in November 2018 after President Emmanuel Macron's government announced hikes in fuel taxes. The reform was later scrapped, however, protesters continued to gather for rallies across France every weekend to express their discontent with the current policies.

The protestors in Paris gathered at Denfert-Rochereau square.
