This is used in particular to identify the YGs active in the field and their support, but will then make it possible to better organise demonstrations and draw up a list of priorities for demands.
As announced on the Facebook group "La France en Angère", a Yellow Vests application is now available on Android (and potentially later on iOS). Developed by volunteers of the movement, it currently has the main function of counting the number of active Yellow Vests in France. "By using this app daily you will be able to indicate when you are mobilized with other Yellow Vests. This will allow the media to be presented with a different source of information than that of the Ministry of the Interior to evoke the figures of GJ mobilizations in France," he explained.
