The "Block Everything" protests in France did not have the expected effect.

On Wednesday, protests in France led to the blocking of highways, the burning of barricades, and clashes with the police, in the context of dissatisfaction with President Emmanuel Macron and the planned austerity measures. Nearly 200,000 people participated in the 'We Block Everything' movement, which brought together various grievances, especially among young people. The police detained over 540 individuals, and tensions escalated in the main cities.
