France: 'Legitimate' grievances over education & inflation risk being overshadowed by violent unrest

Delano D'Souza is pleased to welcome Dr. Laura Keesman, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Dr. Keesman examines the complex relationship between peaceful protest, radical activism, social inequality and state authority. She challenges the tendency to interpret disruptive demonstrations exclusively through the lens of extremism. Even when protesters engage in confrontational or unlawful actions, she argues, their motivations may remain rooted in genuine political and socioeconomic grievances. #france #protests #politics 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
