PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron is preparing to speak to the nation at last, after increasingly violent protests against his leadership.

Dutch Yellow Vests have planned action across The Netherlands to protest against “political correctness,” immigration policies, and to call for the resignation of liberal Prime Minister Mark Rutte.

France’s state officials have criticised the executive government for its disconnect with the French people, saying it has underestimated the grievances that have fed the Yellow Jacket movement.

Over one hundred high schools across France have been blocked or otherwise disrupted, with a fire seriously damaging one school in Toulouse, as students protest education reforms.
