奥利弗·法里采访了科克大学法语系主任奥利弗·戴维斯教授。戴维斯教授认为，政府处理学生抗议的方式反映出“战术混乱”以及对深层结构性问题回应不足的结合。戴维斯警告，向中学生提供的让步仅仅是“触及表面”。
Oliver Farry welcomes Oliver Davis, Head of the Department of French at University College Cork. According to Professor Davis, the government's handling of the student protests reflects a combination of "tactical confusion" and an inadequate response to deeper structural problems. Davis cautions the concessions offered to secondary school students merely "scratch the surface."
与此同时，法国不断扩大的抗议运动已远远超出校园，吸引了“黄马甲”、工会以及各阶层民众参与，背景是民众对公共服务和生活成本上涨的不满日益加剧。
Meanwhile, France's widening protest movement has extended well beyond the classroom, drawing in the Yellow Vests, trade unions and people from across French society, amid mounting frustrations over public services and the rising cost of living.
