00:02France's student-led protests started out in the suburbs of Paris before rapidly escalating into a nationwide movement.
00:09It gained momentum after videos of tracking students spread across social media.
00:14Beyond its organizational role, social media has enabled students to document protests firsthand from the ground,
00:21as Olivier Herzcheid, lecturer in information sciences and communication at the University of Nantes, told Euronews.
00:28Police investigations are now open and social media images can be used as evidence, he said.
00:35Herzcheid also stressed the role social media has played in fostering a sense of connection and common identity among protesters.
00:42Social media is also a way of building a sense of group identity and expressing one's social connections, including an
00:50emerging form of political awareness, he said.
00:52Another mass day of protests is expected to take place across the country on Tuesday, branded as Act V of
00:59the movement, backed by France's major trade unions.
01:02Meanwhile, a separate mass demonstration against the cost of living crisis and rising fuel prices is planned four days later.
01:10The government is a way to build we love it in fostering the world and to save the world and
01:10to maintain the energy of the world.
01:10What does our country mean?
01:12Oh, when does that mean, we start to know?
01:14This is the country's country that we don't have to make a sense of such ayanthCrash.
