Large crowds have gathered nationwide in support of high school students challenging the president, marking a significant increase in turnout compared to previous demonstrations. The unrest has drawn involvement from prominent political figures, with hard-left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon participating in a Paris protest and hard-right frontrunner Marine Le Pen also voicing positions related to the movement.
