The protests are taking a toll on French President Emanuel Macron.
His approval rating has cratered to 23 percent in a poll last week.

The president was so distraught he scrapped his exorbitant gas tax.

President Macron is going to meet with labor groups on Monday and then address the nation on Monday night.

Macron will reportedly announce “immediate and concrete measures” in response to the crisis.
