Описание: Burning cars and clashes with police. Those are the images most people associate with France's latest protests. But they tell only part of the story. Many demonstrators insist the movement is about much more than violence, while politicians on both sides and abroad are using the unrest to advance their own agendas. So what's really driving these protests, and why do they remain popular? DW's Amien Essif spoke to Cole Stangler, a French-American journalist in Marseilles, and Anja Durovic, post-doctoral researcher at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).
