Why is France 'burning'? From student anger to nationwide unrest, is Yellow Vest movement back amid looting and clashes?
France has witnessed fresh protests over rising living costs and declining public services, with looting, arson and clashes reported across several cities. The participation of former Yellow Vest activists has raised questions about whether the movement that erupted in 2018 is making a comeback.
The chaos in French cities wasn't simply a continuation of the high school student protests that have been ongoing since September. Nor was it a return of the "yellow vests." Those who donned them this time are mostly too young to be veterans of the 2018 movement. The article "Is France Facing a "Young Vest" Movement?" comes from the website Kultura Liberalna.
Almost 550,000 French people demonstrated on the weekend, according to estimates, against the cost of fuel and living in general, as well as the deterioration of public services, especially schools. Social tension worsens, six months before the president.
France is plunged into chaos, with Macron facing one of the biggest challenges of his presidency.
