France’s Interior Ministry released a statement Sunday saying that they are taking security measures due to “high terrorist threat” and concerns of “non-declared protests” in preparation for any unrest from Yellow Vests on New Year’s Eve.

They will deploy 147,000 security forces throughout France as yellow vests plan Champs-Élysées rally.

Paris Police will have a security perimeter around the Champs-Élysées where the planned New Year’s Eve light show and celebration is set to take place. The security forces will concentrate on gathering places, public transport and shopping areas, according to the Interior Ministry.

The Yellow Vests have planned a rally after seven weeks of protests against Macron’s governments taxes and are calling for Macron’s resignation.
