High school student movement: the French support it, but want it to end
Published
According to the latest Odoxa barometer for Public Sénat, a large share of French people supports the high school student movement. This mobilisation of pupils expresses a social anger that affects part of the population. Yet respondents believe that this movement should now come to an end.
The poll also shows that this social anger benefits certain political leaders. According to the same barometer, Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon appear as the main beneficiaries of this discontent. Their parties present themselves as defenders of citizens who feel forgotten or poorly represented.
This support and this demand for the movement to end reveal a delicate balance in public opinion. The French understand the reasons for the protest, but they want a return to calm in schools and in everyday life. Observers note that the way the government responds to the young people's demands will influence how opinion evolves.
In conclusion, this Odoxa poll gives a clear picture of the country's mood. It reveals both a desire for social change and fatigue with mobilisations. In the coming weeks, public authorities and political leaders will have to take these contradictory expectations into account.
