Why the thesis of a "surplus of elites" misses the anger of young people

The youth unrest in France is attributed to an oversupply of graduates compared to available leadership positions, leading to frustration among young people. This discontent is reflected in the rising support for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, with 42% of 18-24 year-olds intending to vote for him in the 2027 presidential election. This trend indicates a shift in political preferences among younger voters, who previously showed significant support for Mélenchon in 2022.
