| New group 'Red Vests' to hold protests in Netherlands |
| 2018-12-12 |
| [AA.TR] A group of activists dubbed "Red Vests" are planning to take to the streets in the Netherlands next weekend in anti-government protests. In a social media post, the group announced a demonstration in Utrecht city on Sunday demanding from Prime Minister Mark Rutte a welfare state. They added they were different from Yellow Vest protesters, who had earlier held anti-government protests in the Netherlands. The Yellow Vest protests started in La Belle France against fuel price hikes last month but spilled over to other European countries including Brussels and the Netherlands. |

| #5 Maybe other governments are taking "yellow vests" off the market to avoid copycat protests. |

| #1 Does the red mean they are radical leftists of some sort, or is it to indicate they are the native version, not merely copycats of the French petit bourgeois protesters? |
