"The yellow vests"
In my country, since September, there is a social movement called "the yellow vests". This mouvement has begun because of the raise of the petrol's price. Some people organized on facebook meetings to protest against this raise. During these protest marches, people had to wear their yellow vest (the yellow vest from the car) to show their disagreement. This movement has become a very important movement because there were demonstrations in every big city of France, especially in Paris. People couldn't move by car because the "yellow vests" were blocking the roads and roundabouts. In November, people from everywhere in France started to meet every Saturday in Paris to protest. Thanks to these demonstrations, our President said that the petrol's price will be reduced, but it was not sufficient for the "yellow vests" and they continued to meet every Saturday in Paris because their claims have become more important. Indeed, they're now asking for a right to decide to the French citizens for every important decision taken by the government. With the Christmas Holidays, this movement became less important and there were less people in the streets of Paris to protest. Today, we don't know if the "yellow vests" movement will continue in 2019 or not, but in any case, it was a very important movement which had a lot of consequences in France and even in some other countries in Europe where people started to do like the yellow vests in their own country.

This is great. I hope the yellow vest protest is successful and reminds people to be independent and self sufficient and unite as a people and win their power back from the big government.
