Yellow Vest Protests Continue in France
法國繼續發生黃馬甲抗議
Tens of thousands of protesters have turned out across France for the past few weekends causing President Macron to back down on a planned fuel tax increase. The protests began as a response to rising gas prices, but have evolved into a more general demonstration against the government’s economic reform and planned eco-taxes. The protesters have been wearing yellow vests, which are symbolic of the high-visibility safety clothing required in every vehicle in France. The yellow-vest protesters have inspired similar demonstrations in Basra this week, where Iraqi citizens are demanding basic services.
過去幾周，法國出現了成千上萬名抗議者，迫使馬克龍總統放棄了燃油稅上漲計劃。抗議一開始只是為了反對上漲的油價，但后來演變為對政府的經濟改革和計劃的生態稅的整體抗議。抗議者身穿黃馬甲，象征著法國每輛車都必須配備的高能見度安全服。黃馬甲抗議者導致巴士拉本周出現了相似的游行，那里的伊拉克市民要求政府提供基本服務。
