The movement is motivated by rising fuel prices, a high
cost of living; it claims that a
disproportionate burden of the
government's tax reforms were falling on the working and middle classes,
[65][66][67] especially in rural and
peri-urban areas.
[26][68] The protesters have called for lower fuel taxes, a reintroduction of the
solidarity tax on wealth, a minimum-wage increase, the implementation of
Citizens' initiative referendums,
[36] as well as the resignations of President
Emmanuel Macron and the
Second Philippe government
It seems the protests are anti inequality, anti political elite.
Their demands seem Left wing orientated.
I guess you must be a Leftie Tim?
