I don't know, doing havoc in the streets could be considered a national pastime in France anyway. Some tens of thousands of people go out each weekend throughout France and do what seems like their hobby without any goal they appear to be able to reach, like Macron's resignation, for example.
In my opinion it's supposed to be an anti-Macron movement in general originally triggered by his tax policies. A kind of revolution, if you like.

What do they say they are protesting: the tax breaks which don't affect them or the gas taxes which do? You should know if something is already overpriced and it gets a price hike then that hurts more than a cheap thing getting a price hike. Gas taxes are already at the max of what is tolerable.
