"People are fed up with Emmanuel Macron and his government" (Soumaya Sarré)

October was marked by significant mobilizations, following the initial high school blockades that began in France's overseas territories in September. The movement gradually spread to mainland France, with the blockade of several schools, particularly in the Île-de-France region.

The protests then broadened into a national movement, with a major day of mobilization on October 17, followed by further demonstrations on October 24 and 31. And the movement shows no signs of slowing down: new high school blockades are planned for November 2, the first day of the new school year, while further mobilizations are scheduled for November 5 and 7. How can the government attempt to resolve this social crisis?

Soumaya Sarré, president of the High School Federation of the Neighborhoods, believes the causes of the protests run deeper and directly implicates the policies of the current government.
