[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AI6oVmtzZKnb/en/at-73-yellow-vest-protester-martine-fights-for-young-people) So, the Yellow Vests, isn't it over? It's never over. Do you know how old I am?

[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AI6oVmtzZKnb/en/at-73-yellow-vest-protester-martine-fights-for-young-people?t=4) Seventy-three. You don't look it. I turned 68. I was 17.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AI6oVmtzZKnb/en/at-73-yellow-vest-protester-martine-fights-for-young-people?t=12) There are 40 million people who didn't go on vacation.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AI6oVmtzZKnb/en/at-73-yellow-vest-protester-martine-fights-for-young-people?t=14) Do you think that's normal? Children who've never seen the sea.

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AI6oVmtzZKnb/en/at-73-yellow-vest-protester-martine-fights-for-young-people?t=18) Can you imagine? That's life. Well, not for me, it isn't.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AI6oVmtzZKnb/en/at-73-yellow-vest-protester-martine-fights-for-young-people?t=23) How are you doing? I don't go on vacation, that's it, you know.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AI6oVmtzZKnb/en/at-73-yellow-vest-protester-martine-fights-for-young-people?t=27) I've enjoyed my life. But kids who are four, five years old, who've never seen the sea, it makes me sad.

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AI6oVmtzZKnb/en/at-73-yellow-vest-protester-martine-fights-for-young-people?t=33) You're here for others, really. I'm not here for myself. For me, it's over.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AI6oVmtzZKnb/en/at-73-yellow-vest-protester-martine-fights-for-young-people?t=38) I'm for others, I'm for you. Because I have my pension, I'm not doing it for myself.

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AI6oVmtzZKnb/en/at-73-yellow-vest-protester-martine-fights-for-young-people?t=43) I'm fighting for you, so that your youth and your life will be sweeter and kinder.

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AI6oVmtzZKnb/en/at-73-yellow-vest-protester-martine-fights-for-young-people?t=49) That's what I'm fighting for. Remember me.

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AI6oVmtzZKnb/en/at-73-yellow-vest-protester-martine-fights-for-young-people?t=53) What's your first name? Martine. Nice to meet you, I'm Théo.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/AI6oVmtzZKnb/en/at-73-yellow-vest-protester-martine-fights-for-young-people?t=56) I'm glad I got to know Bertrand.
