French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe met with opposition leaders Monday to discuss the increasingly intense and violent Yellow Vest protests as students blocked schools across the country in a new twist to the unrest.
Philippe is due to unveil measures to address the situation on Wednesday at the National Assembly, Agence France-Presse reported. Before that, he is scheduled to meet Tuesday with representatives of the Yellow Vest movement.
