France: Macron’s policy is leading to dangerous uprisings full of violence and hatred
As we already wrote to you yesterday, France burns in a series of violent uprisings, marked by fires and devastation. Nahel's murder was the match thrown into the petrol tank of a country angry, wounded, humiliated by the Macron government. The dispute over the pension law, which has seen the majority of the population oppose this reform, has shattered any form of popular consensus towards the Macronian government. Unions and the middle classes have teamed up to fight a government they now see as a cold technocrat.
The situation was therefore already explosive when the police killed Nahel, a petty criminal, with a long criminal record, who became a folk hero in death. Here is the huge crowd that attended his funeral in Nanterre
Then riots, violence and destruction broke out all over France and now beyond as well. Here is the map of arsons in the Paris area
And here is how the main motions are distributed in France
The riots are a veritable orgy of destruction and hatred. In Marseille, the smoke from the various fires blackens the city
In Paris, the Chatelet area is sacked
Fires in Lyon
The riots also spread outside France, in Brussels. but this is Tourcoing
There are dozens, even hundreds of videos. It seems clear that the government will soon impose a state of emergency, but it risks being too late. The violence is now widespread in many medium-sized cities and, frankly, it is not clear how the forces of order will be able to operate to calm the situation.
Austerity and political repression have gone on too long in France, which is not Italy. Macron will apply the hard fist for the umpteenth time, but one cannot govern by going from one repression to another.
