Backlash to Notre Dame Donations
Rick Noack, The Washington Post foreign affairs reporter focusing on Europe and international security, brings updates on the Yellow Vest protests in Paris and the backlash over the billionaire donations to the Notre Dame Cathedral fire.
"One of the concerns of many French people was that all of those donations were made as if to look like those companies were contributing something to French cultural heritage, but really what they were looking for was French tax breaks," says @rick_n, reporter @WashingtonPost.
