Macron: “The clashes are the fault of video games and social media”. The solution will be censorship
Finally in France there is the official version of why the clashes and widespread destruction broke out following the death of Nahel, and this comes directly from President Macron.
Obviously in this explanation there is no trace of self-criticism, you don't even remotely think that you have done something wrong by sending tension skyrocketing. No, the cause is simple, as the Napoleonic President informs us: kids watch too many violent video games and then want to bring them back to reality. Not to mention those social media bad guys, whose content needs to be controlled and purified. Here is the extract from Macron's speech:
Voici la déclaration dans son intégralité : “On a le sentiment que certains vivent dans la rue les jeux vidéos qui les ont intoxiqués”. pic.twitter.com/7U8DFD6A0E

So the solution seems simple: no more violent video games, no more Gran Theft Auto, the infamous GTA, no Call Of Duty, maybe save Tetris and Candy Crush Saga. super censored social media, no profanity, and all France's problems will be solved.
I admit, at this point, that I have some doubts about Macron's mental clarity, or about his connection with reality. There is no doubt that what we are witnessing is the son of a desperate youth, who is fighting against social failure on the one hand and drugs on the other. Guys who no longer have prospects and futures, because they no longer exist. What future do they have, that of becoming a hypermarket clerk? Retail has been wiped out and concentrated. The increasingly humiliated professions. Production activities compressed absurd barriers to entry. Try opening a workshop in France and Italy, look at standards, courses and regulations, and then calculate if you also have time to work. If you have no prospects for the future then better follow any illusion, natural or chemical.
If they're lucky, the boys can join the Police. In that world 6 years of almost civil war, first against the yellow vests, then against the No vax, then against those who protested for the pension reform, have led to the feeling of almost absolute impunity: you can beat an old gentleman who protests, without threatening anyone, and quietly get away with it. At the same time you can witness the destruction of the city with folded hands and maybe get applause because major problems would have been avoided.
Obviously it is not Macron's fault that in France there are by now ethnicized banlieus where you can't even enter with a tank. All this is fine, the government is not to blame.
So don't worry and turn off the console: if society falls apart, it's the fault of video games and social media. The Roman Empire also fell because Romulus Augustulus played too much Tekken. A good pass of censorship, hard and pure, is enough and everything passes.
