Political scientist Jérôme Fourquet, director of the Opinion Department at the French Institute of Public Opinion (IFOP), presents the convergence of struggles in these terms: "It is necessary for broad segments of the population to recognize themselves in the struggle waged by another segment." According to the French Minister of Higher Education, Frédérique Vidal, "it is a slogan and an old dream for some."[2]
For the French political columnist Thomas Legrand, it is an "old dream of revolutionary essence that arises in every period of social tensions"; however, "we should speak rather of coexistences of struggles that have advanced scattered demands, but that have never achieved, at least in the 20th century, a total overthrow of power."[3]
