In Paris, the demonstrators demanded the resignation of the French president and the withdrawal of France from the European Union. Florian Filippo, leader of the Los Patriotes party and presidential candidate for 2027, destroyed an EU flag, our correspondent reported from the scene.
"We gathered here because we want to save our country: France! And here we have a symbol of surrender, a blue rag with stars, which we are going to get rid of right now! " declared the politician, while holding the EU flag before tearing it up with the help of a collaborator and throwing the pieces to the ground.
Many participants expressed their dissatisfaction with the current government policy, which they blame for the sharp rise in inflation and the escalation in fuel and food prices.
