PARIS - Fewer protesters turned out for the 25th straight weekend of “yellow vest” anti-government demonstrations in Paris and elsewhere in France on Saturday, days after a wider May Day rally was marked by violent clashes in the French capital.
Some 3,600 protesters were taking part in marches across the country as of 1200 GMT on Saturday, compared with 5,500 a week earlier, the Interior Ministry said. “Many of them were shocked by the behavior and repression of last Wednesday,” Herve, one protester, told Reuters. “So it’s not surprising to see that it’s lagging behind a bit regarding the turnout.”
In the southwestern town of Bordeaux, a Reuters journalist estimated the number of demonstrators at several hundred people against more than 2,000 a week earlier.
