French PM Admits Government Didn’t Listen To The People

Fact checked

The French Prime Minister has admitted that the government made mistakes over the way they handled the massive Yellow Vest protests that have been gripping the country for the past five weeks.

Edouard Philippe told Les Echoes newspaper on Sunday:  “We made mistakes. We did not listen enough to the French people. I remain convinced that they want this country to be transformed”

Meanwhile the Yellow Vests are now demanding that all taxes paid throughout a citizens lifetime is accredited to their pension when they retire.

RT reports: Violence at the demonstrations has been hitting record levels with hundreds of protesters injured since November 17. At least seven people died during the protests. Police officers have also suffered injuries.

French cities descended into chaos, with protesters smashing store windows, looting, overturning cars, and burning barricades. City centers were shrouded in fog from tear gas, smoke grenades and firecrackers. Earlier in December, Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire admitted that the protests were a “catastrophe” for the country’s economy and businesses.




There was massive security at the rallies, with tens of thousands of police officers deployed. Heavy armored vehicles belonging to French Gendarmerie – military police – rolled in the streets of the capital and several other cities. The number of those detained throughout the protests has surpassed 4,500.

People initially protested against fuel-price hikes due to come into force this January. The government has since abandoned those plans, but demonstrators continued to demand more concessions, including lower taxes and even the resignation of Emmanuel Macron.
