Macron Kicks Off Debate To Quell 'Yellow Vest' Unrest

Description

Reuters reports President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday kicked off a three-month national debate he hopes can quell the “yellow vest” unrest with a letter to the French people in which he pledged to listen to new ideas but stuck to his core economic reform agenda. Macron’s initiative comes after nine weeks of protests by the “yellow vests” — named after the high-visibility jackets they wear. The anti-government uprising has wreaked havoc in Paris and French cities, shaken the economy and challenged Macron's authority.
