On November 17, the Yellow Jackets went out to the street for the first time. Since then, they have mobilized every Saturday in different cities of the French geography. The most significant incidents, particularly on 1 December, have occurred in the immediate vicinity of the Champs-Elysées of Paris and the Arc de la Victoria.

According to Reporter, most of the 97 serious casualties in the accident have been from blows of head. One of them is a 28-year-old journalist who appears in the report and has been interviewed in Euskadi Radio. On December 8, a rubber ball hit him: “As I recorded, people started to walk away without knowing what was going on, and by the time I realized I hit the rubber ball on my cheek: I have to be two months without eating anything, but I was lucky; it’s going to happen.”

Jaka is the worst economic crisis suffered by the Macron Government. “It’s done a lot of harm to citizenship,” the media says. But above all, it is lying that has caused the pain. The Interior Minister, Christophe Castaner, has condemned the Gendarmes' attack on the demonstrators: “I don’t know any police who have attacked Jaka Amarillo.”

Part of the report is Antoin, 26, a native of Baiona, who lost his hand on 8 December by a police grenade.
