Macron promises measures to respond to the "legitimate demands" of students
French President Emmanuel Macron pledged to implement significant measures to address the legitimate demands of high school students amid ongoing social tensions. Nearly half a million people protested over the weekend, with students calling for comprehensive reforms in secondary education and the 'yellow vests' movement demanding Macron's resignation due to failed economic policies. A meeting between the Prime Minister and student organizations is scheduled, followed by a press conference with education ministers. Macron emphasized the effectiveness of increased security measures during protests and criticized extreme left movements for exploiting student protests. He also condemned the role of social media in facilitating violence and vandalism during demonstrations.
