French teachers' union: Government actions do not respond to protesters' demands French teachers said Tuesday that government education reforms are not enough to end weeks of protests and cannot quell student anger. The demonstrations first began with students blocking the entrance to the schools in protest of the lack of manpower and educational facilities, but gradually labor unions and the "yellow vest" movement also joined it. In addition to educational problems, the demonstrators are also protesting the weakening of public services and the increase in the cost of living. The French government, which is under pressure from the bond markets to reduce its debts, has limited financial resources to meet the demands of the protesters.
