MACRON PROTESTS Now POLICE to join France braced unions yellow vest” protests.
Scores of police officers have been injured since the citizen-driven “yellow vest” movement was launched in mid-November, most in violent clashes with anti-government protesters. Three unions have denounced working conditions and complained about what they said were strained resources as officers have been sent in to clear roadblocks and restrain violent thugs who have joined street demonstrations to stir chaos and provoke police. The Alliance union announced a “black day for police” as it urged the Macron government to invest in rebooting France’s tired security forces, while calling for a work slowdown on Wednesday to protest against planned cuts in the national police budget.
