The "forgotten middle class" has reached the streets of the country. An expert said: "They feel that the political elites have forgotten about them."

 President Emanuel Macroon once again says that France does not make good reforms.

Thousands of protesters, called "yellow jackets", went to French streets on weekends due to their fluorescent clothing to protest the increase in gas taxes.

In Paris, this demonstration on violent flames on the streets of Champs-Elysées was launched on Saturday, while protesters fired protesters at the French flag. Police responded to attacks with water balls and tear gas. More than 100 people were arrested.

The demonstrations began earlier this month, turning to widespread hypocrisy over the presidency and its efforts for economic reform.

McRohn condemned the attacks on police officers and said there was "no place for this" in France.

what will happen?

Activists of the "yellow jacket" - which are called after neon vests - French drivers are required to carry their vehicles in an emergency on the roadside. McCrowney wants to stop tax increases.

Since November 17, drivers blocked highways across the country, preventing the launch and transportation of mobile vehicles.

According to French interior minister Christoph Costner, about 280,000 people protested in the streets nationwide that day, with 106,000 attending the ceremony.

Why are people angry?

Experts say the demonstrations were driven by a sharp rise in fuel prices, allowing people to express their dissatisfaction with the high cost of living in France, and most of the Macron presidency.

A poll released on Friday found that only 26 percent of French people have a positive opinion of Macron.

Who are PROTESTING?

Famke Krumbmuller, French policy specialist at the OpenCitiz political consultancy in Paris, said: "The white middle class, the forgotten middle class in France," Famke Krumbmuller.

Krumbmuller said people are protesting those who pay high taxes and social spending to France, which include benefits such as government pensions and unemployment insurance, but they feel they do not have enough money because they are not the poorest society.

"They are tired of rising prices and living costs," he explained. They feel that the political elites are forgotten about them.

Are federal federations involved?

The Yellow Jacket Movement has been created for most social sectors with Facebook groups and hacker trends, which makes the fans do not hit the streets.

Downing said that this self-organized approach is a relatively new phenomenon in France that historically relies on unions to formulate controversy.

I think that unions are also very uncomfortable.

What is likely to be resolved later?

This is not the first time Makron's attempts to change to France have protested.

Macron's revision of labor laws - which made companies easier to recruit and dismiss their employees - took thousands of demonstrators in the streets of Paris in May.

Almost at the same time, French rail workers struck in response to Macron's plans to reform SNCF's state-owned railway company.
