A few days before the anniversary date which falls on a Wednesday, the region’s yellow vests are celebrating their 3rd anniversary in Caudry, Somain, Sin le Noble, Béthune and even Valenciennes.
In Caudry today at the lace roundabout, diehards the Gransarts. Patrice yellow cap screwed on the head, hunting horn in hand and Carole, little yellow heart around the neck, and mini yellow knitted waistcoat hanging from the real yellow waistcoat on which we can read nothing is loose.
The fifty-year-old couple are still motivated, especially since the situation has worsened in 3 years according to them with the increase in gasoline, gas, or electricity
It’s unacceptable, we can’t leave people like that in poverty
And the check for 100 euros announced by the President of the Republic is far from calming their anger, for Patrice who receives the minimum wage that is not the solution, it was necessary to increase wages.
His wife Carole seems upset when we talk to her about Emmanuel Macron’s speech on Tuesday.
It’s blah, nonsense, he pisses our heads off, he doesn’t care about misery

Travel, meetings, solidarity for 3 years
The Grassarts therefore plan to spend hours on their roundabout and that of their friends in the area to change things, and continue this adventure which has lasted for 3 years during which they traveled to the Dordogne, spoke with ministers, deputies, and during which they made lots of friends.
Further on, the same anger in Mirella, a retiree who came expressly from Lens who only receives 500 euros in retirement. Manuel Coisne the Valenciennes yellow vest stunned by a police grenade fire during a Parisian demonstration also wonders about having to delay the moment to turn on the heating to save money by working at 2, “it is not normal” he rebels.
Manuel who is also demonstrating to obtain compensation after his injury, he still does not have a trial date, according to him justice is dragging because it is a yellow vest.
He calls for a march of “mutilated and wounded” movement Sunday at 2 p.m. in front of the Gaumont cinema in Valenciennes.
