RNA - They were accusing the local media to spread false information about the movement.

"They want to make us look violent, homophobic, anti-Semitic, just to discredit our movement," said one of the demonstrators.

"If we are here today, it is because there is a problem with the media. Even before the Yellow Vests movement, the information was treated only in one way," added another protester.

Saturday marked the 24th consecutive week of nation-wide protests against French President Emmanuel Macron’s policies in France.

While Macron announced a set of policies, most notably tax cuts, in a televised address to appease the protests on Thursday, protesters alleged he had not offered concrete details and plans.
