“It is important that every person who wishes to participate in this
movement be able to do so, no matter their skin color, country of
origin, sexual orientation, gender or
religion… No, the Yellow Vests are not the sheep of nationalists,
fascists and other extremist movements, just as our movement is not
represented by any party or union. We denounce the government’s tax on
those most in need while it enriches the ultra-wealthy.” -Eric Drouet,
the truck driver who issued one of the original calls for protests on
Facebook.
