The “yellow vests” have also inspired protests next door in Belgium, where on Friday demonstrators hurled rocks at the prime minister’s office.

The price fluctuates daily similar to the stock market but fundamentally yes, I thought you were right.

Will Macron face down or back down to the protestors?

Mr Macron has presented himself as a president brought to power on the back of a grassroots movement, who could heal the rift between voters and leaders, and rebuild trust in democracy among those who felt disillusioned and detached from politics.

Since then, his campaign - like his leadership - has been criticised for being too rigid, too hierarchical, too arrogant and aloof. Now, with has approval ratings falling steeply, he's faced with a real grassroots movement, what will his response be?

Why'd you copy & paste couple of lines from an BBC article posted over a week ago?

Without a name, there would be other "world leaders" that come to mind
