Thousands of yellow vest protesters marched for the 21st consecutive week to denounce French government's policies
Protesters wearing yellow vests attend a demonstration during the 21st consecutive national protest of the yellow vests movement at the financial district of La Defense near Paris, France, April 6, 2019
Some masked protesters clashed with police in Rouen, but it was not comparable to the scale of violence seen in previous weeks, such as the March 16 riots in Paris that saw luxury stores on the Champs-Elysees ransacked. Interior Minister Christophe Castaner has been heavily criticised both by yellow vest activists and opposition politicians for having played down reports of police violence, despite serious injuries among protesters.
An opinion poll published by Delabre on Thursday suggested that the public was not convinced of government measures. Over 1,000 people were surveyed and an immense 68 percent said they didn't think people's views would be taken in to account. Some 79 percent didn't think it would resolve the current political crisis.
