All hell breaks loose in France: The government mulls state of emergency after 3rd weekend of Yellow Vest protest mayhem

After hundreds of people were arrested and injured during Saturdays’ Yellow Vest protests, government is now mulling all options as a response. That includes a state of emergency, a spokesman confirmed.

“It is out of the question that each weekend becomes a meeting or ritual for violence,” Benjamin Griveaux told Europe 1 radio on Sunday. He said the government is looking at all possible options, but is also “ready to talk” with protesters over the planned fuel hike and higher taxes, which triggered the unrest.
