The government is now taking necessary measures to tackle the issue, with teams of workers and equipment being sent in to clear the streets. The response is too late, though, and the damage has already been done.

He needs to take action and address the grievances of the public, or elRese he might be in serious trouble. It remains to be seen how Macron will be able to salvage the situation, and the future of his reforms are now uncertain. He needs to act quickly and take the necessary steps to appease the public, or else he might have to bear the brunt of their wrath.
