French Yellow Vests — some angered by hundreds of millions of dollars in donations made toward rebuilding the Notre Dame Cathedral — plan to demonstrate this weekend.
French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner warned Friday the
protesters plan to hold a repeat of the March 16 demonstrations, when
some participants became violent, burning cars, starting bonfires and throwing objects at police.
“We can expect the ultra-radicals on Saturday to once again stir up
trouble and organize themselves in groups to propagate violence — this
is the only thing they have in common. Once again, the threat is serious
and calls for strengthened operations,” he said during a news
conference.
Castaner said the Yellow Vest protesters don’t appear to have been dissuaded from protesting in the wake of a destructive fire
at Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral.
In fact, some protesters have said
Monday’s fire and the quick outpouring of some 850 million dollars to
rebuild further highlighted the differences between France’s wealthy and
the working, middle class.
