Скачать или смотреть Yellow vests protest organiser on Finkielkraut

(17 Feb 2019) One of the organisers of a yellow vest march in Paris on Sunday said he "strongly" denounced anti-Semitic remarks hurled at a noted philosopher during a yellow vest protest in the capital.
Bruno Mandres said that "those who did that are not real yellow vests" and that he feared the movement will be wrongly portrayed as anti-semitic.
Paris authorities opened an investigation on Sunday into the incident, in which a few demonstrators targeted philosopher Alain Finkielkraut with insults on the sidelines of a yellow vest protest through Paris on Saturday.
The incident raised national concerns about the ascendant radical fringe of the movement, which began as protests against a fuel tax hike, and broadened to include a range of concerns about France's living standards and the economic stresses facing ordinary families.
The increasingly divided movement has held protests every Saturday since Nov. 17, but some groups are holding rallies this Sunday to celebrate the movement's 3-month birthday.
An online invitation to Sunday's main Paris march says "Let's stay peaceful".
