## Student protests spark Yellow Vest concerns
France prepares for Yellow Vests to return as student protests demand better schools.
## Over 1,000 events planned for Saturday
A map listed more than 1,000 events planned to denounce rising fuel prices and support high-school students.
## Yellow Vests' origins
The movement began with a viral TikTok video posted by a frustrated young man about rising prices at the pump.
## Political backing for protests
Left-wing politicians including Communist Party leader Fabien Roussel and Green leader Marine Tondelier supported the initiative.
## Yellow Vests' past role
The original Yellow Vest movement began in 2018 with protests over fuel prices before growing into a broader revolt against economic inequality.
## Yellow Vests' concerns
Jérôme Rodrigues, a prominent Yellow Vest figure who lost an eye in 2019, says protests reflect shared concerns over workers, families and pensioners.
## Police injuries and complaints
Police opened internal investigations into 36 claims of officer violence against protesters, including four children allegedly mutilated by explosive weapons.
## Yellow Vests' future
Rodrigues hopes for a resurgence of the Yellow Vests to finish what they started after student protests.
## Political differences
Yellow Vests acknowledge differences between current protests and 2018 movement, noting today's protests are more institutionalized.
## Key takeaway

France's Yellow Vest movement may resurge after student protests over school conditions and fuel prices.
