France's protests escalate from classrooms to national crisis for Macron

France is experiencing one of its largest waves of protest in recent years, escalating from student demonstrations into a national crisis for President Emmanuel Macron. The unrest has led to nighttime curfews in cities including Paris and Nice to control the disturbances. The protests began with students denouncing teacher shortages, school deterioration, and educational inequalities, but have since expanded to include unions, farmers, transporters, and the "yellow vests" movement known for opposing Macron's fiscal policies since 2018. The escalation has brought violence to several cities. This crisis arrives at a particularly delicate time for Macron's government, which is already facing inflation, economic pressure, and political tension. The video coverage explains who is protesting, their main demands, and how the situation escalated.
