Abstract
The discussion on forms and intensities of political action in France in the previous chapter has confirmed the long-term strong activism that the country has been known for. When dealing with conventional political participation, or even more particularly in cases of protest activity, the French numbers from different databases have all provided a unanimous verdict. French activism in politics is alive and strong; citizens are interested in their role in democracy and make sure they are heard, regardless of the situation.
