You can see Eric Drouet, mostly at the wheel of his truck to sit. There he is filming with his cell phone and explains his view of things in the Livestream on Facebook. Since the 17th century. November of interest to hundreds of thousands for Drouets thoughts – the 33-year-old Frenchman is one of the Central figures of the movement became the “gilets jaunes”, the yellow West. Drouet lives in Melun, a small town an hour South of Paris, with his little daughter, in his spare time, he tune truck and car engines.
Like many of his friends and he was upset mad about the rising petrol prices and the fact that the President of France, Emmanuel Macron wanted Jokerbet to introduce for January 2019, an environmental tax on Fuel. The Trouble went so far, that Drouet had the feeling to have to do something. At the end of October he called on Facebook to on 17. To block November, the “country”. Nearly 300’000 French people put in the fact. Since then, it has changed the country, and Drouet. “The resignation of Macron I hadn’t thought of that at the beginning, now it is, I think, really, the currency, in order to advance”, this sentence he sends back from his driver’s cabin.
Since the movement of the yellow West, France has recorded, ask the observer, who is behind it. The answer is complicated and simple at the same time. It is people like Drouet, the feel that your actions are developing a real Power, not want to on the other hand, are considered to be the leader. As Drouet, together with Priscilla Ludosky that has loaded the movement with an online petition pushing from behind, to the environment Minister, François de Rugy, he filmed the conversation. Tens of thousands were watching live on Facebook. Any remark, any question of Drouet and Priscilla was commented on in real-time and rated. The meeting was accompanied by a stream from the heart, thumbs up, and angry Smileys.
Than Drouet in a television Studio, said that he wanted to “at the Elysée”, accuses him of the Minister Marlène Schiappa, Drouet planning a coup.
The social network is to connect with friends and colleagues, the “gilets jaunes” use it as an Instrument of co-determination. Before Drouet sets, in TV studios, he asks its hundreds of thousands of Facebook contacts, of which positions are most important to them. He is only a spokesman, he emphasizes again and again, not a representative. It is not so, that the boy is no leader. You don’t want to be the leader. No one should ask about the group. Than Drouet in a television Studio, said that he wanted to. on Saturday “at the Elysée”, accuses him of the Minister Marlène Schiappa, Drouet planning a coup
The example Drouets can understand how the yellow movement radicalized in four weeks and has politicised. On Facebook left demands for a redistribution of wealth with the right Anti-foreigner-logic mix. In the yellow West-forums has spread into a hysterical panic in front of the UN migration Pact. Drouet can live in the Stream of his comrades-in-arms, Maxime Nicolle tell that Macron “will sell France to the UN”. This lie Drouet opposes nothing. In his view of the world Macron is anyway nothing more to write: “Starting this Saturday, we decide what happens.”
