Paris: Yellow Vest protests banned near Presidential residence, on Champs Elysees
Paris, Mar 22 (Sputnik): Paris police have banned yellow vest protesters from gathering this Saturday near the presidential residence, the parliament and on the Champs Elysees.
"Didier Lallement, the police prefect, decreed today to ban all gatherings on Saturday, March 23, of people who associate themselves with this movement on Avenue des Champs Elysees … as well as on [Place de] l'Etoile square and in the perimeter around the presidential residence and the National Assembly," a note read.
French protests have been rallying against the government in Paris and elsewhere in France since mid-November.
Violence escalated last Saturday, prompting President Emmanuel Macron to request the deployment of troops to protect official buildings ahead of this weekend’s rally.
