Célia Belin:

It's what they're been saying about him for the past year-and-a-half, since he has been in power, his attitude is out of touch, his attitude has been perceived as arrogant, for a few little sentences here and there that seemed to be showing a sort of a distrust of lower-middle-class.

So there's — there's a class element behind it. But, more generally, people have been saying that this government has been blind to what was going on, on the ground, mostly because it came out of a new party with very little local support, sometimes a lack of — a deep lack of (INAUDIBLE) and so a lack of understanding of what was going on.

And, in many ways, it has been deaf also, deaf to the demands of the past three, four weeks. And so one of the demand was also a demand on social justice, maybe reinstate the wealth tax, which is something that Macron has been unwilling to do. He is not questioning his own economic policy at this stage.
