Yellow vests mark 3 months:

-

Paris authoritie­s opened an investigat­ion Sunday into antiSemiti­c remarks hurled at a noted philosophe­r during a yellow vest protest in the capital, an incident that raised national concerns about the movement’s ascendant radical fringe.

The Paris prosecutor’s office said Sunday an investigat­ion was launched into “public insult based on origin, ethnicity, nationalit­y, race or religion.”

A few demonstrat­ors targeted philosopje­r Alain Finkielkra­ut

with insults on the sidelines of a yellow vest protest through Paris on Saturday. The shocking incident prompted criticism from French President Emmanuel Macron and other prominent figures.

Meanwhile, yellow vest demonstrat­ors called for multiple rallies around Paris and some other French cities Sunday, including a march expected to start at the Arc de Triomphe monument. (AP)
