"I have asked the government to address the demands underlying the protest movement," Macron said during a visit to Marseille.

The prime minister and other ministers will present several major, concrete measures this afternoon.

Among other things, the government is expected to announce changes to Parcoursup, the platform used to manage admissions to education programs. Students dislike the platform because its "algorithmic selection" process disadvantages some students.

Student representatives will continue to call for demonstrations, BFMTV reports.

"We need concrete results," a representative said, according to the TV channel.
