Macron’s government in trouble as French students protest

French student protests reflect deeper issues of inequality and wages that fail to meet living costs.

French student protests are about the conditions of students in classrooms, including teachers' pay, but the real story behind the protests is inequality and people's pay, which does not cover the expenses of the French standard of living.

That combined with the generous welfare that the France receive from the state, which adds to the debt burden; then you have a combustible economy.
