even will violent in last week's demonstrations there were more arrests and more injuries as seems that all chance of reconciliation any time soon david j. to al-jazeera paris. thank. you let's bring in our guests now today in paris and go to cheli c.e.o. of terrorists a consultancy firm focused on global risks and city to intelligence and also a former french diplomat in istanbul rami borgia an economist at the french institute of international strategic affairs also an investment strategist and via skype in coventry david lees a lecturer in french studies at the university of work very warm welcome to all of you and first to you because you were with us last week talking about these protests they were much more violent this weekend why do you think that was you know because it is the result of the fact the government has not addressed

properly the going on and the nature of the demonstrators claims there is no way the movement has been the radicalized due to the lack of. a strong just coming from the governments as if feel that they have to to go further in violence in order to be heard it's what we can say to explain but i don't have a leader in the way so really i didn't say anything there just to clarify as our correspondent david tate's has been keen to point out that there are two distinct groups of people on the streets of paris you've got the yellow vest movement which are peaceful protesters and then you have a far right far left extremists and advocates mix up and they are the main cause of the violence aren't they. yeah but i mean you have always in any

demonstrations you have always radical groups lake of left wing all right wing so i mean i was just saying that i mean even the peaceful people they have been radicalized due to what they said previously of course you have always groups violent which has nothing to do directly to the claims but after it's also due to let's say do the where how the security has been set up for a min to do prefer the demonstration that has been i mean one week ago so i mean it's very difficult to iran's to set up a good security system when you you don't know exactly where are they most threat or a weak good so there really is a reason why is it is it couldn't anticipate on the. how what place to secure and

how many people will be there and her insulin if i don't sit around here in a point just to get some idea from you remy how do you feel the government has handled this crisis so far. well they didn't expect the demonstration to last and to. become so widespread throughout the country so they're really by surprise they didn't want to to abandon those tax hikes and now they say it's too late to do so so they don't have a clear strategy at this point to deal with this protest just a few months ago after my concert action there was this kind of consensus about a structural reforms and his european agenda but all of that is a stalling of the moment and there's a clear lack of

a strategy best an economist strategy that could also benefit those social groups and the working class in particular. and a more a more political way to address this huge dissatisfaction with them within society it's clearly a turning point for for this presidency and that's this this element of surprise that prevents them from from tackling the situation effectively and david do you agree with that do you agree that the government where it's falling down where it's failing is in its delivery of its message as to how economic reforms will benefit the people of france and i would absolutely feel it's been said so far yes i mean i think from here is really proving himself to be dealt with yes malise at the moment you know he didn't seem to really understand the genuine concerns of ordinary working people and i think it's something which is be the case really ever

since he was elected we do because of the significant sort of divergence between the very real popular sentiments in france be very much sensitive content around the increased taxes on dealing with it and it caused. political landscape in france my prom has a huge majority in the national assembly any major report that he wishes to try and implement in french political economic terms can be implemented without any major opposition politically but in terms of what he's actually trying to achieve as it's apparent that ross the whole country and in terms of ordinary voters there's a real sense of aloofness and certainty and i think this relationship with the communicates in earnest a meaningful way with ordinary votes is. would you agree with that and i mean would you say that the problem with present is more down to his style than his substance that perhaps he does come across as too arrogant but the reforms that he's trying

to implement are necessary for france well i think first of all as there is not a lack of strategy i sing that the his position is that he has been elected for his program and his program is to. implement reform his program is based on how to reform the country so now he is. he's in a tricky situation in the meaning that. he doesn't want to be like the previous government meaning governing who which usually pull back for any kind of reform the difference is that now the way how the people demonstrate that they don't disagree is no more through a political representative like may or lower leader and so on so i mean

that he's in the right confrontational with the people which is very new so i mean there is a lack of communication because you have no more mediation with the political representative rocor original and so on so i mean it is a tree in this three key position in a meeting that he has been elected for being different than the order but finally. he is that he has to now it has to show that he has understood properly the people that pulling back from his i mean changing is program will not will be a good situation good jest or just. cooler than the situation otherwise we are going to be to have people more and more radicalized. and i have dearly for the only. one at this point in time is actually going to be willing to change his

program because he hasn't given any indication that that's the case. well he's really sticking to this kind of checklist of structural reforms and that's one of the problems actually they suppress a consistent trying to to to check all the boxes and the checklist and there's a lot. more profound economic strategy especially in the ston of industrial revolution of a great technology called chance and and those structural reform some of them do make sense but they're a little to generate too systematic and so all the reforms everybody's been speaking off for the past twenty years and now times have changed been a global financial crisis and the concern about equality inequality has a non-married of issues so people fail to see really what's well

have what kind of empire these reforms will have in terms of long term growth and how they will improve their living standards and they are really exist tensional concerns about harnessing and jobs you can see now that the demands of the demonstrators broadening very fast on the minimal wage all kind of issues it's not so much just about some some very precise reforms but more about the general approach and the concern to those reforms are not really addressing the other people's concerns and. the more general challenges that the country in terms of strategy david just give us an idea of who the yellow vests movement is made up of and that concerns how legitimate they are i mean how would genuinely all people struggling to live in france when i think the issue

no one really knows exactly who we are. movement and of course there is no clear leader which makes it very hard as you've been hearing actually to negotiate with the jones that you know best move in because there is no clear leader to go but i would say there are they're made up of a kind of a diverse group of people from across to me across the political spectrum who are genuinely disillusioned with the cost of living we've made a limited purpose to empower the french would say the luck of having your we can look a wage going against our you would like it to go on the real concerns around jobs of unemployment and so on i think where they want a process to be most significant actually and most i guess most led by the people themselves is around the kind of more rural parts of france particularly areas away from paris where the genuine concern is that money from paris does not seem to be filtering down the local areas the thinking moreover there is so-called ad hoc put on the kind of that so the harlem's of france really the major focus of course in

terms of the media and so on has been very much on the pirate stage protests but as we've been discussing that stuff is really been portrayed to some extent by extreme left and extreme right not to say since well here in france there are genuine concerns around the crumbs patients in terms of economic policy and as you've been hearing a lack of communication in terms of how these policies have been communicated really have really having a major impact on how the public perceives macron in the his policies as a whole. it was quite interesting and last week we saw president back on trying to be more empathetic and more humble in the speech that he gave to the nation did any of that resonate with people well. a single word has learned yet the government is not properly addressing the deliverer and the i mean the real demand the people in the streets as for now a solution now

a decision from the governments what the governor has proposed for the moment is just in sri manses we will have during the stream ounces coming we'll have discussion dialogue at a roll call navel and then of the regularly violence or uncertain but well i think it has to give something now that we'll just have the process of putting then the situation and then it will be able to propose something that can be established a set up for the next weeks or next month's coming and what he do people are waiting of what is it there's an offer p. jester. well you know if people as for a. macor has to leave and sons because they didn't they are still waiting for something from him not even the government from the president himself it has to to

mean to pull back on one point or two point which is the axes about taxis about. boat salaries because for the moment general meant of the agreement is to say that we will a lot of people to have less and less. i mean money to spans. but people are asking for having getting more money. to to spend more money the way so that there's the part and he has to give to us three major.
