The protest movement of the “yellow West” has shifted in the past few months, the whole of France is in turmoil. Now there is resistance from the ranks of the citizens: the “Red scarves”.
Philippe Lhoste on the wide square in front of the great arch of La Défense and his comrades-in-arms. It is in the evening, the lighting is bad, and red neck scarves are easy to identify heavier than yellow jackets. But then you meet. And where is the sign of recognition? Cyril shows his red neck-scarf, it’s actually more of a scarf, which is due to the cold. Together, they want to distribute flyers, which you call for to demonstrate for the Republic.
“Not the democracy in question:”
“We do not agree, such as the yellow West treat of the Republic,” declared Cyril, senior Executive in Paris. You might have a couple of claims that were justified, the man could speak, says Cyril. But you see that your behavior authoritarian trains to take, you should not put democracy in question.
Meanwhile, Alain has arrived, hallmark red scarf. He grabs a Pack of the flyers, 10,000 for the “Foulards rouges”, “Red scarves”, at your own cost to print. Like the “yellow vests” have you done this, you have collected on Facebook, tells Alain.

dialogue
“We are not apolitical, but is multi-convince-politically, we stand above the parties, we respect the parties, we want to convince through dialogue.” They are citizens who want their Republic will be respected, you have to fight. They are not for or against Macron or against other parties.
But of course, the “Foulards Rouges” Macron are conceptually closer than the right-extreme Marine Le Pen or the radical Left Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Philippe has chosen Macron, he says without Hesitation. And he doesn’t want to, that France is ungovernable, he owes the country a lot.
Rachida, red scarf, wild Curls, mid-50 joins the men who are still looking for a place where your flyers can be distributed. Then they are off and running in the direction of the entrance of metro station.
