People are rallying in Paris and other French cities, holding Yellow Vests protests for a 24th week; this comes shortly after President Emmanuel Macron held his first-ever full domestic news conference, where he pledged to cut the income tax in order to ease the economic issues in France.

Last weekend, the number of yellow vests protesters rose to 27,900, with 9,000 gatherings in Paris. According to police, at least 126 people were arrested in the French capital alone.

The protesters earlier urged people to gather in Strasbourg, so local authorities banned rallies near EU offices.
