<center><img src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2018/12/03/20/59/yellow-vests-3854259_640.jpg?attachment"></center> The protests seem very decentralized. I haven’t seen any reference to *leaders* or *official* statements or lists of demands. But for what it’s worth, openDemocracy has published a (poorly?) translated <a href="https://www.opendemocracy.net/can-europe-make-it/france-bleu/demands-of-frances-yellow-vests-as-uploaded-by-france-bleu-november-29">list of demands</a> “as uploaded by France Bleu”. I have no idea how representative it is of what protesters are saying in the streets. In the American mainstream media the protesters are sometimes said to be “populists” which in its current usage can be shorthand for Trumpist or nationalist or nativist or anti-globalist, etc. But if the demands as published by openDemocracy are representative, most of them seem “progressive” for lack of a better term or “socialist” in the European sense of the word without its Marxist trappings. Only a few points mention anything immigration-related, but even there don’t have a Trumpist or <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Rally_(France)">*Rassemblement national*</a> feel to them. America’s mainstream media tends to see the protests as entirely French and mostly about Paris, but I’ve seen some alternative media posting about it being widespread throughout France (for example, <a href="https://steemit.com/news/@samstonehill/is-the-french-yellow-jacket-movement-the-beginning-of-something-bigger">this post</a> by @samstonehill) and protests seem to have spread to Belgium and even the Netherlands. @samstonehill posted from the south of France near the Spanish border. Might these protests spread to Spain? Spain’s economy is in serious trouble with high unemployment *and* Catalonia has regional issues that might be grafted onto a yellow vest movement. <center><img src="https://s14.postimg.org/7k9hhyv1t/IMG_0530.png"></center> *Pixabay image*

Hi there ! First, the list is really badly translated, it's even a bit fabricated, as a lot of points are not in the original document, and a lot of others are missing... If you want a real translation, here it is (I'm French by the way) : **Economy/Work Related** - Reunions about fiscality. Write in the Constitution that the State can not collect more than 25% of anyone's revenue. - 40% increase of minimum wage and social minimums (minimum retirement pension, RSA - which is the no-activity pension) - Massive hiring of civil servants, to restore administrations' service quality. - Building of 5 million moderate-rent housing units (houses / flat with a low rent for poor people). - Reduce banks' sizes. - Cancel the debt. **Politics related** - Rewrite the Constituion (no more details), make more referendums. - Lobby ban. - Frexit : leave the European Union to be able to print money again. - Put a stop to tax evasion. - Put a stop at privatizations (highways, airports, parking lots, railroads). - Fines : less automatic radars and stop video-surveillance-fining for road infractions. - Exclude all ideology from the school system and review all education methods. - Make justice free for all, multiply by 4 the budget of the Ministry of Justice. - For the medias, break trusts, stop all collusion between media and political powers. Stop propaganda. Stop subsidizing. - Guarantee freedom for all and write in the Consitution the interdiction for the State to intefere with education, health, family. **Health/Ecology** - Scheduled obsolescence : prolongate the manufacturer warranties up to 10 years, make sure spare parts are available. - Plastic : Prohibit all plastic bottles, bags and other packagings. - Big Pharma : Weaken their influence, review the health and hospital system. - Agriculture : ban GMOs, pesticides, endocrine disrupters, mono-cropping. - Re-industrialization : diminish imports hence pollution. **Geopolitics** - Leave NATO immediately and forbid the French Army to participate in "aggressive" wars (wars that are not just only defensive) - France and Africa : stop the looting, and politicial and military interferences. Bring back all french soldiers. End the France CFA system. Give back all ill-acquired goods to the African Nations. - Immigration : stop all immigration. - Foreign Policy : respect International Laws and all signed conventions. --- For your other points : The "Paris" movement (that get the most attention) is really marginal, as housing prices are so high in Paris, that people who live there are the "1%", not concerned by the problems encountered by the *Yellow Jackets*. The movement is really active in the regions, in the rural / small and medium cities areas.

You're welcome, it didn't take me long, and when I saw the translation made on OpenDemocracy, I couldn't let that pass...

Hey! Was your recent transfer to @ocdb with 2 usernames a recommendation to whitelist? Just thought I'd let you know that we have an application/recommendation post up on @ocd right now if you'd like to recommend others, but we appreciate the donation if it was meant to be that. If not let me know and I'll send the Steem back. :)

I meant to send it to @steembasicincome to buy them SBI shares, but a whitelisting recommendation works too. 😅
