In a second week of demonstrations, thousands are protesting against the steep rise in diesel prices brought in by the president.

The French government has blamed the protests in Paris over rising fuel costs on far-right leader Marine Le Pen.

Demonstrations and road blockades were set up nationwide as the "yellow vest" protests entered a second weekend.

They have been named after the fluorescent jackets worn by protesters, which motorists must keep in their cars by law


Of course these are all lies.


This statement is so not credible that only one source reported it in the French media, and not the most reliable one. Castaner and Le Pen have been insulting and attacking each other constantly since he was appointed. In fact, she insulted him on his first day on the job. But of course, you can't know that since you base your idea on a single article.
Also, your article only mention one protest, only in Paris. In case you didn't know, there have been protests in a dozen cities, several times before and after the one in your source. So even if that were true, it's definitely not representative of the movement as a whole.
Try again.
