Student protests in France have escalated into violent riots. In the assessment of the US newspaper The New York Times, this has made it clear that almost a decade of rule by French President Emmanuel Macron has not resolved the country's problems.

The paper sets out this view in an article titled "The Failures of Emmanuel Macron." Its introduction says the protests began with students, snowballed, and turned violent.

Macron is the president of France and has led the country for almost 10 years. According to The New York Times, the unrest shows that France's difficulties have not been addressed in that time.

The available excerpt of the source does not say where or when the protests took place, how many people took part, what triggered them, or whether there were injuries or arrests. Those details are not included here because the source does not provide them.

The article is The New York Times' assessment of Macron's presidency, not only a chronicle of events.
