My first guess is, they’re just not at all experienced with this, there’s no mass protest culture, just small individual actions or very rare punctual district wide walks

But that’s not an excuse, the yellow vests happened, the French pension reform protests happened, there’s plenty of other examples in Europe to learn from

Its like they’re reinventing the wheel and trying to figure it out on the go, but protest is cultural, it’s strategic, it’s thought out in depth before happening
