Thousands of people hit the streets of the French capital Paris on Saturday as they demonstrated against President Emmanuel Macron for rising prices and pension reform.
The yellow vest movement, largely dormant since violent anti-Macron street protests in 2018 and 2019, held the march through central Paris, though turnout was low.
Jamal Bouaban, a member of the "yellow vests" movement, said despite a relatively weak turnout, the group achieved its goal to confirm that their voices have not disappeared and Macron's government should hear their demands and take them seriously.
"We went out today for the sake of all the French who are dying of hunger because of the high prices that they can no longer afford," he said, vowing to organize more demonstrations.
Meanwhile, a doctors' strike recently became another issue for France as medical professionals are on a second work stoppage from Jan. 2 to 8.
Earlier Thursday, doctors gathered in Paris to demand better working conditions. Thousands of demonstrators marched to the Health Ministry and observed a minute of silence to commemorate interns who have committed suicide.
France has been suffering from a "triple epidemic" of the coronavirus, flu and bronchiolitis. The number of patients has increased in emergency departments, causing long waiting times.
General practitioners, considered the second pillar of the French health care system, began striking on Dec. 26, asking for better working conditions and the authority to raise fees charged to patients.

A general strike in France is roughly as common as a mass shooting in 'murica. Nobody even notices anymore.
