PARIS—Several thousand “yellow vest” protesters marched through Paris and other French cities on Feb. 2 during the 12th weekend of action against the government, despite opinion polls pointing to a recovery in President Emmanuel Macron’s popularity.
The protests—named for the fluorescent jackets that French motorists are required to carry in their cars—began in mid-November over plans to raise fuel taxes before developing into a broader revolt against the government that mobilized tens of thousands of demonstrators nationwide each Saturday.
