Dozens of Gilets Jaunes gathered at Arts-Loi on Saturday 15th December

A group of about a hundred Gilets Jaunes — named after the citizen movement initiated several weeks ago to denounce the price of fuel and the cost of living in general — was formed early in the afternoon on Saturday in Brussels, at the crossroads of Arts-Loi. The mobilization seems, at first, limited in number, with a strong police presence.

At first the Gilets Jaunes were gathering on the Place du Luxembourg, which was banned at the last moment.

 

 

 

The people gathered at Arts-Loi made it clear that they felt, by these limitations, restrained in their right to express themselves.

« Working class heroes » featured on deployed banners.

« Violence is not the answer, but it’s the system that wants it. The lies of the system are a form of violence « , indicated a spokesperson of the movement.
