French President Emmanuel Macron visited Marseille and admitted that the government had underestimated the scale of student protests that have been ongoing for a month. He blamed social media platforms for the destructive riots and warned of potential unrest on November 7. Macron's visit comes as the government prepares to provide 'very concrete answers' to student demands regarding Parcoursup and school conditions on Monday. The protests began due to lack of funding for schools and teacher shortages, later escalating into mass riots with clashes between protesters and police.
