Yellow vests protests

2018 social movement started in France

The yellow vests protests or yellow-jacket protests (French: Mouvement des gilets jaunes, pronounced [muvmɑ̃ de ʒilɛ ʒon]) were a series of populist, grassroots weekly protests in France that began on 17 November 2018 and ended on 28 June 2020. After an online petition posted in May 2018 had attracted nearly one million signatures, mass demonstrations began on 17 November. The movement was initially motivated by rising crude oil and fuel prices, a high cost of living, and economic inequality.
