French Yellow Vest Protests Spread Through Europe To Belgium And The Netherlands

• https://www.theorganicprepper.com

As protests continue to rage in France, discontent is festering elsewhere in Europe at the same time. What began as a routine protest deep in Paris has swelled to over a hundred thousand people and approximately five locations throughout the country. Anger over yet another eco-fascist "gas tax" seems to have been the straw that finally broke the camel's back.

This, of course, was combined with other problems too: constant foreign military adventures, falling wages, rising costs of living, rising costs of healthcare, privatization of essential services, cultural disruption as a result of heavy migration, and growing unemployment as a result of Free Trade globalist policies.

France is now facing the possibility of martial law or greater unrest and violence.

It's not just France dealing with Yellow Vest protests.

And the discontent being seen in France is also being felt elsewhere in Europe – most notably Belgium and the Netherlands. Although receiving much less media attention, the "yellow vests" have taken to the street in Belgium over many of the same concerns as their counterparts in France.

But while the French version of the protests was set off by the proposed increase of fuel taxes and ballooned into a movement addressing greater issues, there was no straw to place on the camel's back in Belgium. There were no new fuel taxes announced or any other new policy that was receiving coverage in the media or causing discontent with Belgians at the time. The Belgian government is increasing the cost of fuel but the policy is not a new one. Belgians already pay the highest state taxes for fuel in Europe.

Interestingly enough, it seems that the "final straw" for Belgian was imported from France.

For all intents and purposes, it appears that the Belgian and Dutch protests are the reverberating waves of discontent that comes with such an "integrated" society in Europe whereas the indignities suffered by the populations in one Sovietized EU "democracy" are grievously felt in another Sovietized EU "democracy."

It is also reminiscent of the French Revolution when British oligarchs were constantly on guard for signs of discontent with the dreadful conditions in that country, lest the same thing should take place in England.

So Why Are The Protests Taking Place In Belgium?

For the most part, the protests in Belgium are inspired by the same situation in France, i.e.; falling wages, rising costs of living, rising costs of healthcare, privatization of essential services, cultural disruption as a result of heavy migration, and growing unemployment as a result of Free Trade globalist policies.
