I saw rioting, looting, above all, anger. If French leaders think more violence will solve this, they’re mistaken

Didn't Macron subvert the last election results by refusing to let the largest party who won try and form a government?

I mean, what did he think would happen? The French tend to react to stuff like this.

Yup, he is working alongside LePen to ruin the domestic quality of life.

I headed back up the Boulevard de Magenta. There I met protesters including a student at the Sorbonne, who had come to “support the highschoolers first and foremost, and to demand more money in public schools, from primary schools to universities”. Another major factor that he said had motivated him to come out on to the street “was the repression faced by highschoolers, who are under 18”, such as an incident in Lens, where a police grenade blew a 15-year-old’s hand to bits.
