I posted many years ago the disgruntled yellow vests revolt in France.
Macron manage to defuse the situation by holding long drawn out meetings in the provinces until the furor lessen and people had to return to work. And then there was the distraction of the Notre Dame fire. And no, I don’t accuse the French government of using the tactic reminiscent of the Reichstag fire. 
The yellows have returned.
Serge Bousquet-Cassagne looked down solemnly at his protégé, pointing his arm at him for all the farmers and their families to see.
“I make you general of the army of the serfs,” the 65-year-old leader said in a makeshift ceremony organized to honor regional leader Lionel Candelon, who stood before him in a large concrete hall on the outskirts of Auch, southwestern France.
Hundreds had gathered to celebrate a landmark victory for their movement: the Coordination rurale union, known for its signature yellow hats, had made unprecedented gains in February’s farming union elections, breaking the hegemony of the establishment FNSEA in representing farmers in France and Brussels.
The movement has been at the forefront of recent farmers’ protests in France, outflanking the FNSEA with hard-hitting action, ranging from confrontations with President Emmanuel Macron to [setting manure on fire](EN IMAGES. Bonnets jaunes, feu devant la préfecture, blocages... la démonstration de force des agriculteurs du Lot-et-Garonne) in front of government buildings, drawing criticism for what rivals say are intimidation tactics.
Merde!
Bousquet-Cassagne has made a trademark of his bullish manners and disregard for the law, boasting 17 court appearances over the years for actions ranging from vandalizing supermarkets to illegally constructing water basins used for irrigation.
“In this country if you don’t burn cars you don’t get acknowledged,” he said at the rally. “And you get f**ked.”
Perhaps disgruntled is the incorrect description of the yellows. P*ssed might be more correct. Macron managed to fob off the prior protest. How will this one turn out?
France’s rural heartlands have been a big reservoir for growth for the National Rally. After winning over disaffected industrial areas, the party has sought to capitalize on rural discontent and hardship, blaming mainstream parties for failed farming policies and accusing Brussels of exposing EU markets to cheaper and inferior foreign produce.
Liberté, égalité, fraternité
