They need a French Trump, not a French Obama.

When France's government is literally under siege by Glow in the Dark Frogs:

That wasn’t too hard, if they keep pushing what else could they get?

Meantime stupid CA voters vote for gas tax hike.... How does it feel to be bigger pussies than French?

Can't wait until high visibility jackets are "racist"

Is Macron the Ocasio Cortez of Europe?

"On Tuesday, representatives of the Yellow Vest movement said the temporary freeze on the tax proposed by the French prime minister was simply not enough."

The word 'permanent' in the OP title isn't supported by the article.

The initial offer was for it to be temporary.

In France, les deplorables strike back.

Their lives are fenced in by an ever-growing skein of nanny-state regulations. Before the fuel tax, there was the unpopular rollback of the speed limit on France’s roads to 80 kilometers (49 miles) per hour from 90 (56). The same week, bureaucrats added dozens of new requirements for vehicles, forcing many cars off the road. Macron’s government offered drivers a $4,500 bonus to buy electric cars: a Marie-Antoinette moment seen as an insult by les déplorables.

There's just no place in this world for Socialist Scumbag Liberals. May he be disemboweled in the public square.
And may Merkle join him.

You mean like these who demand moar gubmint bennies, higher minimal pay and "protection for the migrants" while wearing yellow jackets and burning cars? The original tax revolt has been taken over by pinko fucks.

"Loi Schiappa pour pedophile" = "Schiappa law for paedophiles" Schiappa is a government official in charge of "equality between men and women", whom somehow is defending the government on TV on everything and anything, and whose approval widely vary. She passed a law, there was a lot of disinformation on it so I don't really know what it does, but it was criticized for (apparently) reducing consenting age. Something like that.

Yes, they legalized child marriage for Muslim pedophilia. There is no age of consent for sex in France anymore.

French Obama and his grandma/wife should step down.

We really need to air drop copies of the constitution to them when they protest... so they have a solid blueprint to work from.

Something else that is supposedly a real list:

End of the tax hike on fuel.
Promote the transport of goods by rail.
Tax on marine fuel oil and kerosene.
Monthly minimum wage at 1,300 euros net ($1947 CAD per month after taxes).
Indexing of all wages, pensions and allowances to inflation.
Nationalization of the fuel for home heating and electricity sectors.
More progressive income tax (more marginal tax brackets).
The end of the austerity.
No withholding tax.
Restoring the taxes for the ultra-wealthy.
Same social security system for all workers, including the self-employed.
The pension system must remain in solidarity and therefore socialized.
No retirement pension below 1,200 euros ($1797/month CAD).
Increase of disability allowances.
Retirement at age 60, and a right to early retirement at 55 for workers who have worked a hard manual labour job.
Continuation of the Pajemploi help system until the child is 10 years old.
End of outsourcing of work for French corporations.
Limit the number of fixed-term contracts for large companies, replaced with more full time employment.
Maximum salary fixed at 15,000 euros [monthly] ($22469/month, or maximum annual salary of ~$270,000).
Jobs for the unemployed.
Any elected representative will be entitled to the median national salary.
The popular referendum must enter into the Constitution. Creating a readable and effective site, supervised by an independent control body where people can make a proposal for a law. If this bill obtains 700,000 signatures then this bill will have to be discussed, completed and amended by the National Assembly, which will have the obligation, one year to the day after obtaining the 700,000 signatures, to submit it to the vote of all French.
Return to a seven-year term for the President of the Republic.
End of presidential allowances for life.
Proportional voting system.
Elimination of of the Senate.
Accounting of the protest/blank/none of the above ballots.
Promote small businesses in villages and town centers. Stop the construction of large commercial areas around the big cities that kill the small business. More free parking in city centers.
No further privatization of French infrastructure.
Improved funding for the justice system, the police, the gendarmerie and the army.
All the money earned by highway tolls will be used for the maintenance of motorways and roads in France and road safety.
Immediate closure of private trains, post offices, schools and maternity homes.
Maximum 25 students per class for all ages.
Large corporations (McDonald's, Google, Amazon, Carrefour ...) pay big [taxes], small businesses (artisans, SMEs) pay small [taxes].
Protect the French industry to prohibit outsourcing.
End of the business tax credit. Use this money for the launch of a French hydrogen car industry.
Eliminate credit card fees for merchants.
Lower employers' charges.
Continue exemption of farm diesel.
Improve the lives of the elderly, by banning exploitation and making money off the elderly.
Substantial boosts in mental health fund.
Prohibition of glyphosate.
Immediate end to temporary foreign worker programs.
Plan for improving insulation of housing (help the environment by helping the household).
Rent control. More low-rent housing (especially for students and precarious workers).
Treat the root causes of forced migration.
Fair treatment of asylum seekers . We owe them housing, security, food and education. Work with the UN to have host camps open in many countries around the world, pending the outcome of the asylum application.
Return of unsuccessful asylum seekers to their country of origin.
Real integration policy is implemented. Living in France means becoming French (French language course, French history course and civic education course with certification at the end of the course).

Something else that is supposedly a real list:

Yeah that list is after Soros infiltrated and just Commied it up real good.

That's not a list of demands, that's a Communist Manifesto.

Sorry, but a movement with such a hodgepodge of (often self-contradicting) demands is bound to fail. This is a wrong way to do it.

Are free speech and free shit mutually incompatible?

#UPDATE A total of 1,723 people are arrested across France with 1,220 ordered held in custody, during the latest round of "yellow vest" protests, the interior ministry says pic.twitter.com/JZVHIEZ4iP— AFP news agency (@AFP) December 9, 2018

Interesting, French Police were beating the shit out of protesters and in Belgium they were arresting them for wearing leather jackets because it was "Protective Gear".

Good thing this is Europe, or people might complain about the level of force. What IS the Media's definition of police overreaction?

Ceffer says

That’s pretty accurate. Democrats love giving free shit away as long as you are willing to accept bigger government control in your life.

Antifa has joined the protesters.

"All reactions to neoliberal stooges, left or right, must be Russia and Putler! Globalism is the way and the light!"

Booger says

Monthly minimum wage at 1,300 euros net ($1947 CAD per month after taxes).

1,300 Euros is less than $1,500 per month. California minimum wages are going to $15.00 per hour, which equates to around $2,600per month.
We are paying too much to California workers and yet they complain all day long.
"We want a living wage. We want a living wage. We want a living wage." Go to France for your living wage.

#1 direct democracy: All we need is Joe-6-pack making policy to reach a Nirvana of social harmony. That works great in CA!
#2 less taxes. But remember we want the same benefits!
#3 ... and we want to close the budget deficit. Just because #2 would be too easy otherwise.
#4 regional power: because it's well know that regions in France are always managed like clockwork.
#5 we want more buying power but less efficient food production.
#6 because we want to buy German products made in Germany. This will restore jobs in France. And remember we also want more buying power.
#7 withdrawals of public media subsidy: so private conglomerates can decide what news we watch.
#8 And no Europe. We are big enough to close the deficit and buy German crap without any help.
