Paris, provinces brace for

revived yellow vest protests

their anger against high taxes and his pro-business policies that they see as favoring the wealthy
rather than the working class. (AP Photo/Christophe Ena)
PARIS — The central French city of Bourges is shuttering shops to brace for possible violence
between police and yellow vest protesters, as the nationwide movement seeks a new stage for its
weekly demonstrations.

Paris, too, is hunkering down for a ninth weekend of anti-government protests Saturday. France’s
government has deployed 80,000 security forces for the day, and Interior Minister Christophe
Castaner threatened tough retaliation against violence.

Online groups mounted calls through the week for mass protests in Bourges, but Paris police said
they wouldn’t let down their guard, notably around government buildings and the Champs-Elysees,
scene of repeated rioting in past protests.

The protest movement waned over the holidays but appears to be resurging, despite concessions by
President Emmanuel Macron. Protesters want deeper changes to France’s economy and politics. /jpv
