Macron blamed the war on Iran for the decline in purchasing power among French citizens. He stated that although there are support measures, the main causes of this crisis are the conflict in Iran, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and the increase in fuel prices. With the presidential elections six months away, it is rare that such a crisis is not related to political decisions. In this case, the protest movement was not triggered by tax increases, government actions or pension reforms.
