France's "yellow vest" movement demonstrated against alleged police violence in rallies across the country Saturday, as nearly 60 lawyers denounced the treatment of protesters in the courts. The latest marches came a day after France's top court threw out a bid to ban weapons that shoot 40-millimeter rubber projectiles blamed for a number of serious injuries. Thousands of protesters took part in a "march of the injured" in Paris calling for a ban on the weapons. One of the movement's leading figures Jerome Rodriguez, who was hit in the eye at last Saturday's demonstration, was greeted warmly by fellow demonstrators. The marchers gathered for a rally at Place de la Republique in the city centre, where police used tear gas and water cannons to force demonstrators to keep their distance and clashes broke out with some protesters, some hooded or masked. A police estimate put the turn-out at 10,500 in Paris, but an independent count carried out for the media, including

Jean-Claude Juncker was once again seen struggling to navigate a small set of stairs at a key international summit today. The European Commission President, who last week told the UK Prime Minister the EU would offer no further concessions on her Brexit deal, was photographed seemingly losing his balance and having to be held and helped by a pair of aides. It is the latest of several high-profile events, including a NATO summit, at which the politician has looked unsteady on his feet. Today the 64-year-old was attending the High-Level Forum Africa-Europe summit, at the Spanish horse riding school in the Hofburg palace in Vienna, Austria. The summit of European and African leaders focused on the crucial matters of economic development and migration, which have come to be among the EU's defining challenges in the wake of mass migration from North Africa and the Middle East triggered by the Syrian civil war. Later at the event Mr Juncker, whose previous job was as Pr

A 28-year-old Frenchman has been sentenced to six months in jail after he published a Facebook post attempting to organize a ‘Yellow Vest’ blockade of a local petrol refinery, according to local reports. Hedi Martin was arrested in Port-La Nouvelle, southern France on January 3, shortly after publishing the post on Facebook, la Dépêche reports. In his post, Martin called for a ‘Yellow Vest’ blockade of the petrol refinery in the coastal town, urging people to “stand up to the CRS [riot police],” according to WSWS. State prosecutors noted video footage of Martin on his Facebook page at several Yellow Vest protests in the region, and criticized him for allegedly resigning from his short-term contract at a chocolate factory to “spend between four and seven hours every day” demonstrating. The state prosecutor had reportedly sought a harsher penalty of two years imprisonment and a three-year protesting ban. However, the fact that Martin had not actually

The current serving councilors, TDs, MEPs, elected leaders and civil servants who have presided over the sellout and destruction of Ireland, are hoping no one brings up their treason in the upcoming local and EU elections. If not running yourself. make sure YOU question them in public! The propaganda and brainwashing that has been used, is so blatant and so easily exposed, the left quickly resorts to shouting and screaming and swearing because they have no argument. The Garda are incapable, unequipped and too scared of dealing with these issues. All are too scared of being labelled as a racist even if it has nothing to do with racism.

They are busy sucking up to every and all depravity, diversion and perversion that they can think up... To the EU, UN and traitorous national leaders, t
