French protests revive Yellow Vests over living conditions

Protests erupted in France on Saturday following social media calls to revive the Yellow Vests movement, with demonstrators citing harsh living conditions as their primary grievance. The mobilization comes after student groups, protesting since mid-September, urged supporters to join the demonstrations. The original Yellow Vests movement emerged in 2018 in response to social injustice and economic inequality. The protests were discussed with journalist Antonia Kerrigan on the ground and Paul Smith, head of Modern Languages at the University of Nottingham, providing expert analysis on the renewed unrest.
