Yellow vests movement
The Yellow Vests Movement is a group of people who wear yellow safety vests and gather together in protests. They are called the Yellow Vests because they wear these vests as a symbol of their protest.
These protests started in France in 2018, when the French government proposed a fuel tax hike. Many people found this unfair and believed it would increase the cost of living, especially for those with low incomes, so they decided to speak out against it.
The Yellow Vests Movement started with people using social media to organize peaceful protests, where they would wear yellow vests and march in the streets. These protests became quite popular, and more and more people joined in. They demanded that the government listen to their concerns and make changes that would benefit the people.
As the movement grew, it became more than just about the fuel tax hike. The Yellow Vests started to demand changes to other issues, such as wages, pensions, and healthcare.
Despite some initial success, the movement has faced some challenges along the way, including accusations of violence and tension with police. The Yellow Vests have continued to protest, but the movement has slowed down over time. However, their message and demands have had a significant impact on the French government and society as a whole.
