As part of the so-called 'yellow vest movement' (for the reflective vests), various actions are still underway across the country, while a large demonstration is called for Saturday in Paris.

'We have to give the coup de grace and go all to Paris by all possible means' , said the call published on Facebook, social media, used as a platform to mobilize citizens.

The Minister of the Interior, Christophe Castaner, criticized Tuesday the prolonged movement and the broadening of demands.

'We are now seeing a radicalisation of the movement with demands that are no longer coherent and that go in all directions. The intention is to block France', he said in statements to the public television station France 2.

The Minister pointed out that during the protests, up to Monday one person died and more than 500 were injured, while also 92 members of the security forces have been injured.

The Minister of Economy, Bruno Le Maire, said that the blockades cannot be tolerated because 'the freedom of movement of the French is not negotiable'.

The French government remains firm in its decision to implement the rise in fuel prices, based on the need to promote the ecological transition and reduce the country's oil dependence.

On Saturday the protests began with a tense day of more than two thousand actions across the country, with the participation of almost 300,000 citizens.

Although participation dropped over the next few days and 27,000 demonstrators participated Monday the movement remains nationwide and a major mobilization is expected next Saturday.
