Jacline Mouraud: Founder of Yellow Vest movement denounces extremists hijacking her tax protest

Jacline Mouraud: Founder of Yellow Vest movement denounces extremists hijacking her tax protestThe founder of the "yellow vest" revolt said it had become a dangerous "dog without a leash" prey to extremists and anarchists, and urged moderate protesters to open dialogue with the French government. Jacline Mouraud, a 51-year old composer and hypnotherapist from Brittany, is credited with sparking the movement after six million people viewed her Facebook diatribe against environmental duties on petrol and diesel last month. "What are you doing with the money apart from buying new dishes at the Élysée Palace and building yourself swimming pools?" she asked President Emmanuel Macron in her viral video. But she said the movement had now been hijacked by an increasingly violent fringe of "extremists and anarchists". Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, Ms Mouraud, said: "This movement has broken free of everyone, you can't reason with people any more. Some don't even remember what demands we made at the start. "It's as if we had kept the dog on a leash and today the leash has snapped."

Now, however, it was, she said, not just "beyond the reach of the government, political parties, unions" but "the people from the movement themselves". She added: "We're witnessing a tsunami. The wave is still in the air and we'll just have to wait for it to crash down again." Facebook, she said, had initially "helped bring people together and get organised". But it also now had a "very negative side," she added. Experts said that Facebook's decentralised nature is ideal for "gilets jaunes", particularly as it changed its algorithms earlier this year to lower the visibility of content published on pages run by large media outlets. "It prioritised content being shared by groups, individual profiles, and local information. This change in the algorithm has boosted the emergence of this movement," Tristan Mendes France, who teaches digital culture at Paris-Diderot University, said. Hundreds of social media accounts linked to Russia have sought to amplify the street protests that have rocked France, according to analysis by New Knowledge, a cybersecurity company. Facebook's new algorithm for ordering the posts that users see has also given raised the profile of extremists, conspiracy theorists and proponents of fake news. Ms Mouraud and other "spokespeople" have received death threats. Those behind them "don't want a resolution of the conflict", she said.  A protestor wearing a "yellow vest" (Gilet jaune) throws a cobble at police forces Credit: THOMAS SAMSON/AFP/Getty Images She was among a "yellow vest" delegation that met the prime minister, Edouard Philippe, on Friday night. They listed demands ranging from tax justice and proportional representative in legislative elections and raising low pensions. The prime minister has called for three months of talks between the gilets jaunes and local and national officials. She added: "Today, I have no idea how this will pan out. What's for sure is if we don't get organised, it will have no future. We'll have done all that for nothing."


Plundered 'Gypsy Girl' mosaics back in Turkey after decades in U.S

Posted: 08 Dec 2018 06:22 AM PST

Plundered 'Gypsy Girl' mosaics back in Turkey after decades in U.SMissing fragments from one of Turkey's most striking ancient treasures, the haunting, wide-eyed "Gypsy Girl" mosaic, have returned home more than half a century after they were plundered and smuggled to the United States. On Saturday, the returned pieces went on display alongside the nearly 2,000-year-old mosaic of the girl, whose piercing gaze and dishevelled hair have become a symbol of Turkey's southeastern city of Gaziantep. Turkish archaeologists discovered the mosaic 20 years ago during an excavation of the old city of Zeugma, founded by one of Alexander the Great's generals, near the modern city of Gaziantep.

Yellow vests protests are 'a catastrophe for our economy' warns French finance minister

Posted: 09 Dec 2018 07:02 AM PST

Yellow vests protests are 'a catastrophe for our economy' warns French finance ministerThe French finance minister warned that France's worst street protests in decades were "an economic disaster" as burned out cars and debris were cleared from the streets of Paris and other cities on Sunday. "It's a catastrophe for trade. It's a catastrophe for our economy," said Bruno Le Maire, a conservative serving under Emmanuel Macron, the embattled centrist president who came to power last year promising to modernise France with sweeping pro-business reforms. Mr Le Maire promised that the state and insurance companies would foot the repair bill. Tax payments due at the end of the year will be postponed for retailers whose shops were ransacked only two weeks before Christmas, he said. Dozens of cars were torched in Paris on Saturday as protesters roared "Macron resign". Clashes also broke out in Marseille, Bordeaux, Lyon and Toulouse during the fourth consecutive weekend of protests. Tourism has suffered a blow, with Paris hotel bookings over Christmas and New Year, normally a busy period, down by at least 20 per cent.  Yellow vest protesters clash with police in Paris, in pictures Emmanuel Grégoire, deputy mayor of Paris, said the damage to property was worse than in the previous weekend's riots. "The protests spread over a much larger area, so many more places were hit," he said.  But there was less violence thanks to an increase in police numbers and more efficient tactics. Officers swiftly detained hooligans, arresting more than 1,700, a record for a single day in post-war France. Jean-Yves Le Drian, the foreign minister, rebuked Donald Trump for a provocative tweet in which he appeared to back the protesters and claimed they were chanting his name on the streets of Paris. Telegraph reporters, placed across the city, heard no such chants. "We do not take part in domestic American politics and we want that to be reciprocated," Mr Le Drian said.  Thousands of protesters continued blockading petrol stations and barricaded roads across the country on Sunday. Thomas Lebrun, a 62-year-old pensioner demonstrating near Vierzon, in central France, said: "We won't stop until our demands are met. We want action not words." The increasingly unpopular president is expected to make a televised address to the nation on Monday or Tuesday. Under fire for remaining silent for the past week, Mr Macron's approval ratings have plunged to record lows of below 20 per cent. With critics accusing him of being arrogant and remote, he faces an enormous challenge in trying to win back public support amid the most serious unrest since students and workers rioted in May 1968.  He has already scrapped increases in "green" taxes on fuel, but the protesters want further concessions such as tax cuts for people on low incomes and tax increases for businesses.  Such measures would mark a humiliating U-turn for the president, who has been trying to attract foreign investors and entice banks and finance companies to relocate from London to Paris by offering tax breaks. Benjamin Griveaux, the government spokesman, warned: "All the problems of the 'yellow vests' can't be settled by waving a magic wand." But he added that Mr Macron would make "important announcements". According to French media, he may raise the minimum wage and pensions, and  introduce a tax-free bonus for workers on low incomes.   The "yellow-vest" movement, which takes its name from the high-visibility jackets worn by demonstrators, began as a  protest against fuel tax increases four weeks ago. It has since widened to encompass a range of demands such as 40-per-cent increases in the minimum wage and benefits, and the re-introduction of a wealth tax on high earners, scrapped by Mr Macron as part of a drive to promote investment. French intelligence is investigating claims that the movement, which began on social media, spread with the help of Russian trolls. Hundreds of social media accounts linked to Russia allegedly played a role in spreading disinformation, but officials said no evidence of Russian state involvement had been uncovered so far.

Duchess of Sussex's father releases her handwritten letters and details of first wedding in latest bid to reconcile

Posted: 09 Dec 2018 08:38 AM PST

Duchess of Sussex's father releases her handwritten letters and details of first wedding in latest bid to reconcileWhen the Duchess of Sussex's estranged father hoped to resume contact with her after he was caught colluding with the paparazzi, he claims he tried letters, text messages and family interventions to no avail.  His next step, it appears, is to release handwritten cards, photographs and extraordinary details of her first wedding to the world via a tabloid newspaper. Thomas Markle, who has not spoken to the pregnant Duchess in months, has produced a dossier of "evidence" he believes will prove their once-close relationship, from aeroplane tickets to a hospital form he says shows he suffered a real heart attack preventing him from walking her down the aisle in May. Mr Markle, who lives in Mexico, has already conducted numerous interviews with tabloids and on television, and has now released handwritten cards sent from his daughter over the years. One included $2,000 from the Duchess, then Meghan Markle, for Mr Markle to put towards a holiday, and another reads: "I love you with all of my heart now and forever." Thomas Markle interviews on GMB earlier this year In lurid claims about her first wedding, to Trevor Engelson in 2011, he alleged guests had been given marijuana, insisting neither he or the bride had used it but that it was considered " no big deal in Jamaica".  Ms Markle, he said, had  "micro-managed everything".   Asked by the Mail on Sunday about recent negative reports about the Duchess, he said: "I don't recognise this person. The Meghan I know was always sweet, kind, generous. She was always demanding but never rude." Saying he had tried text messages, letters and a note via his ex-wife Doria Ragland, he confirmed he is no longer in touch with the Duchess or her new husband. Relaying an alleged conversation with Prince Harry while Mr Markle was in hospital receiving treatment for his heart, he said: "I apologised to Harry on the phone and all he said was, 'If you'd listened to me [about how to deal with the media], none of this would have happened'. Thomas Markle did not attend the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex Credit: PA "There are convicts in prisons who have murdered and committed all kinds of horrible crimes, and their daughters still visit them." The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have never publicly responded to Mr Markle's claims. Kensington Palace declined to comment. The intervention is likely to prove distressing for the Duke and Duchess, who are expecting their first child in the spring. Next year, they will move to Frogmore Cottage, Windsor, and the search will begin for a new Private Secretary before Samantha Cohen, who has been in the role temporarily this year, departs. Ms Cohen, a former Assistant Private Secretary to the Queen, will oversee the recruitment process for a permanent member of staff, but may stay on beyond 2019 if her help is still required, sources said yesterday.
