Doesn't France have those folks in yellow jackets rioting in the streets every other week? Did they riot about Macron's coup?
The gilets jaunes was not really an organized movement; more of a coincidental alignment of purposes starting with, of all things, the rise of gas prices.
There are likely going to be some huge student protests, which usually take a little bit to organize; but at this point a lot of people are half convinced that Macron's abuse of power will make any social movement meaningless.
Wait, you mean they weren't protesting the cost increase of Gillette razors? Man, I completely misunderstood that movement.
