Francais: gendarmerie respectfully observe Yellow Vests finish waltz to Edith Piaf before dismantling protest camp - [PEACE] [AS IN LITERALLY]



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.
