The title is kinda misleading - the (french military) police actually
stood back (as the article body explains) whilst the #GiletsJaunes protesters waltz
their last camp waltz. Piquant. Classically French. Go Yellow Vests!
French spirit in motion: Yellow Vests waltz to Edith Piaf as police
close down camp (VIDEO)

â?¦ When French gendarmerie â?? military police â?? arrived to clear out a
group of demonstrators who had set up camp outside the town, a
troupe of Yellow Vests assembled for a final feat of heart-tugging
defiance.
Congregating around their makeshift bonfires, the yellow-clad
resistors danced arm-in-arm to the tender strains of Edith Piaf. The
military police, who had been sent to evict them, looked on â??
respectfully waiting, it seems, for the rousing French ballad to end
before beginning their unpleasant work.
This brief video tells a story that goes much deeper than opposition
to fuel taxes or Emmanuel Macron â?? the nationwide Yellow Vest
movement has stirred the French soul.
Donâ??t hold your breath waiting for Western media to broadcast such
images on every TV screen, however. Increasingly, the working-class
protesters are being painted as dangerous extremists who have been
spurred on by Moscow.
CNN, for example, has claimed

that â??anti-immigration populists and hard-core fascistsâ?? are among
those who fill the movementâ??s ranks â?? an apparent attempt to
discredit the nationwide, cross-party movement.
