France's yellow vest protesters were back on the streets Saturday to keep up the pressure on French President Emmanuel Macron's government and to decry the number of people being injured by police during the anti-government demonstrations. Separately, 10 people have died in traffic accidents related to yellow vest actions. Benjamin Cauchy, a yellow vest spokesman from southern France who came to the Paris protest, called that a "regrettable decision." Around 69,000 people nationwide took part in French protests last week, down from more than 80,000 the previous two weekends, according to the French Interior Ministry. The yellow vests movement began in November and was named after the fluorescent safety vests that French motorists must carry.
