What did the French protests achieve in the lest decades? Hint: nothing.
The Yellow Vests were largely ignored and the fuel tax was eventually scrapped because Covid hit, not because the government got scared of the protesters. The latest protests against pension reform were also ignored and the changes were delayed only because they couldn’t get vote of confidence in the parliament.
