He vowed that he would "never retreat" because of the protesters' pressure, and that he would "pursue with force" his agenda without "giving in to demagoguery" and "without giving up ambitions".
"It will be up to me to make additional decisions in the weeks and months to come, but they will never be retreats but rather, for this moment, more intense", Macron said in front of Argentina's French community.

He noted that the protests against the surge in fuel prices and taxes are "a challenge for all of the country's forces, for the people, for the government" and that he is up to "confront all the modern forms of injustice".
During his speech, he did not mention the "Yellow Vests" directly.
The "Yellow Jacket" or "Yellow Vests" movement sprang up after Macron's Cabinet's decision to impose an increase of 6.5 cents on diesel and 2.9 cents on petrol beginning 1 January 2019.
