Protest movement

Protesters wearing yellow vests stand next to a burning tree, as they demonstrate against rising costs of living they blame on high taxes near the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs-Elysees avenue in Paris on Dec. 8, 2018. The ‘yellow vest’ movement in France originally started as a protest against planned fuel increases but has morphed into a mass action denouncing the French president’s policies and top-down style of governing.
