Yellow Vest protesters call for another day of action on 21 November
France’s Yellow Vest movement has called for protests on 21 November, its sixth day of action in the current mobilisation.
The movement’s coordinator, Benjamin Ball, said its demands have not been met.
Yellow Vest protesters also plan to join unions at a demonstration on 17 November.
That date marks eight years since the movement began in 2018.
The protests are part of a wider mobilisation against the high cost of living, with youth organisations also involved.
The 21 November action is the next planned protest after demonstrations on five consecutive Saturdays.
