I think the protests are a double-edged sword : a lot of people are shocked by the repression, and discovering the awful state of some schools, and it shows a massive demand for social justice, so on one side, it radicalizes people toward the left. On the other side, some typically conservative people are angry because of the protests being showed as only riots by mass medias, and they are asking for more repression and less social justice, so it radicalizes people toward the right. The question is which of those effect will be more powerful. From what i see around me though, the people it radicalizes towards left were partly apolitical or centrists persons, with no clear leftists views, while people asking for a more repressive state were already far-right or close to it. So i'm hopeful.

Otherwise, the election is like in many places of the world : traditional parties wo were just different flavours of neoliberalism collapsed, in favor of more anticapitalist parties on one side, and fascist-leaning parties on the other one. I really hope Mélenchon and LFI can make the cut, even though i despise their republicanism and patriotism, the organization of their core party, and the campism of some of their members.
