But Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio cannot meet “Yellow Vest” protestors demonstrating on the streets of Paris. A few days ago, some 12 weeks after the protests began, France passed the anti-hooligan law to suppress the yellow vest protests. Can other countries follow the French example and use the same argument to talk to the Yellow Vest protesters? France recalled its ambassador to Italy because Italian Deputy Prime Minister Luigi di Maio met leaders of the Yellow Vest movement. After his meeting with the protesters, Di Maio, leader of Italy’s populist Five Star Movement, tweeted “The wind of change has crossed the Alps”.
