RE: Are the Yellow Vests Controlled Opposition?

in #news6 years ago

That's a good point. The chances are that people will get bored when nothing changes and see little point in turning up at the rallies. It could likely fizzle out given enough time.

The French have a sort of traditional protest culture, centered on students, but also including several other demographics, like their teachers. Traditionally, when school breaks for the summer, protest season begins, and this is what Yellowjackets are expecting to happen.

May 22 IIRC (not looking at a calendar atm) is expected to usher in a new era, as the core working class component that has endured winter protests is boosted by fresh blood and good weather. Few of them are expecting swift results, and morale seems high, despite the injuries, MSM blackout (and French media disinfo), and lack of traction.

Only time, as you say, will tell.

That could be an interesting. I'll have to try and remember to keep any eye out. I didn't realise about the protest culture. I guess we're looking at seasoned protesters who know how to stay the course.
