Jérôme Rodrigues is a French lead figure in the populist Yellow Vests Movement, advocating for social demands and participating in demonstrations and The True Debate. On January 26, 2019, while filming a protest at Place de la Bastille in Paris, Rodrigues was hit by a sting ball grenade, resulting in the loss of his right eye. He has since become a symbol of police violence in a social movement that saw severe repression and significant injuries.
