Really it’s more that French politicians are properly accountable to the people, who will protest and strike frequently. That’s what makes French politics great, not the leaders but the citizens.
I don't know how much you know about France, and french politics specifically, but as a person born in France I want to tell you that you might have been mislead... From my point of view and with my knowledge, politics here is a shit show, basically the elite mock everyone, France is run by billionaires, happily oppressing the poor.
So what I'm hearing is that people know how to protest over there because yall have a lot to protest against
Yeah, that's closer to the truth. Also, state education makes sure that we are at least aware of a certain few parts of our history, from executing our King and subsequently fighting off most of Europe to preserve the republic, to armed resistance when the Nazis occupied and the state capitulated, and finally De Gaul's staunch non-alignment (as far as Western former empires go). Not to mention that the biggest improvement in the collective safety net for our society was obtained thanks to an ostensibly leftist coalition in the 1930s.
So it's very much in our collective consciousness that we can protest, and that it's a pretty normal thing to do, all things considered.
More to your point, I don't know how many people here in France still expect protests to meaningfully obtain anything nowadays.
Ain't we all? But honestly I get so frustrated with seeing what they debate over and how everything is just done for profit and from what the politians can hoard most money from. I know it's joked about a lot but it just seems insane that Babiš can just use all these things for his own companies and profit. I rather not watch politics at all just from memes and what I hear from others so I might not know everything but still just seems insane they can do these things.
No, politicians don't give a shit about people striking. And the biggest haters of strikes are the citizens who don't like their life and privileges to be disturbed by people striking for their rights.
