Following days of riots, violence, arson, buildings destroyed and mass looting, French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a national address to the people of France. Remarkably, in the beginning of his remarks Macron says no one in the French government understands what is happening, but he is demanding an investigation.
A few paragraphs into the prepared transcript and Macron says high fuel prices driven by President Trump’s war against Iran, “a war we had nothing to do with,” is certainly the cause of the protests that have mysteriously turned violent for some unknown reason. Macron further notes those protests are righteous, justified and he agrees with them.
This is quite a remarkable address. WATCH:

The image below represents the entire dynamic.
FRANCE – France’s President Emmanuel Macron addressed the nation on Sunday evening as communities reeled from one of the most violent nights of unrest in recent years after largely peaceful anti-government protests descended into rioting, leaving government buildings torched, one police officer and one protester dead.
Macron said that the full force of the law would be brought to bear on those who had damaged property or participated in rioting.
“Those who looted will have to pay back for the damage,” Macron said, according a translation from the AP. “And those who sought to bring down the Republic will be held accountable.”
The president allowed that the government should listen to public grievances, and said that he would hold an emergency meeting with French mayors to discuss public safety tomorrow. Macron also said that he had asked the government to convene stakeholders – including students, teachers, trade unionists and others – this week to discuss “concrete proposals,” according to a readout from Reuters.
There were at least two deaths connected to rioting and protests over the weekend. A 22-year-old police officer died after being “struck by a third-party vehicle” in the city of Nantes, about 250 miles southwest of Paris, France’s Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said. (read more)
At least he got to see Celine Dion in concert!
Well, it’s books, what is the mob supposed to do with them? 🤣 🤣 🤣
It was not well publicised, but in Huntsville AL, Antifa(?) protestors chained themselves across the main on ramp to the highway between Huntsville and Redstone Arsenal/Marshall Space Flight Center.
They only did it once.
When you tell me the cop chick was forced to abandon her vehicle, we in Alabama don’t understand why?
How long oh Lord will their eyes not see….
They all believe if they shut their eyes it will all disappear. They still don’t get it, these animals want to kill them whiteys.
2 Thessalonians 2:11–12
For this reason God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
Context: This happens to people who have already persistently rejected the truth and loved wickedness.
The rioters are doing to france what even hitler didn’t. macron is another piece of human excrement.
Maybe Ukraine can help THEM out. /sarc off
Funny how they say Russia is THE threat 24/7.
But Putin never even flicked a cigarette butt into the Parisian street.
I don’t feel bad for them at all. Weird.
Old people in France have been the age group that supported Macron the most in the last 2 presidential elections. They get what they deserve.
And the NFL still thinks their scheduled game in Paris next Sunday will happen.
Lol.
Halloween in Paris just got more exciting!
Did we even need France?
Be interesting to see how much of these EU Countries depend on tourism for their economies, because I would suspect that tourism to these EU Countries is going to take a serious hit in the coming years, especially with the Muslim population increasing so fast.
Don’t worry! I copied the croissant recipe before it was incinerated.
“Remarkably, in the beginning of his remarks Macron says no one in the French government understands what is happening, but he is demanding an investigation.“
This is astounding.
I have read elsewhere that the shops targeted were corporate owned and Jewish owned but Muslim owned shops were spared.
Kristallnacht 2.0 ?
Where is “elsewhere”?
Feckless, back-stabbing weasel. Does this impish little gnome really think playing the “Hate Trump” card is going to buy him some grace over there?
How desperate they all must be! If they cant get war with Russia, then they start their own local one to keep their citizens minds off of the unfunded pension & liabilities bomb that is about to explode.
Karma is in this scumbag’s future. Don’t know how or when, but Macron will see his own miserable destruction.
Well MUSLIM Business were identified and NOT ATTACKED!!!! What else do you need to know?????? IDIOT
Incredible! (say it with a French accent while smacking your forehead)
The husband standing in his underwear – closely watching his wife – has to be wondering how much worse it’s going to get – right in front of him – knowing he is completely powerless to prevent ANYTHING that might happen.
And Macron bleats, “We need to hear the anger – and take heed to what they are saying…” REALLY????? You stupid, stupid man.
The unAmerican hordes in our midst are encouraged by all of this. They are watching, and taking notes.
The BEST thing that could happen to France would be for the rioters to “dispose” of Macron, and then hopefully any remaining alpha males would handle the situation after that and take out the trash.
Socialist Mayor of Paris Emmanuel Grégoire is conspicuously absent. Has he or any other mayor made any public comment?
One mayor with a spine authorizing the police to use deadly force could make the difference.
Unlikely after the world watched an American cop go to prison for restraining an out of control drug addict.
There comes a point when you need to make a point and bring in the armored cars with belt-fed machine guns. Deadly force usually deters looters.
The West has lost its way. Our ancestors would never have put up with this.
The next national election in France is scheduled to be held on April 18, 2027, exactly six months from now. Assuming the government can even survive that long, Macron and his lot should easily get swept aside in that election. So one of two things will probably happen: (1) Macron will pull a Zelensky and declare a national emergency and suspend holding the election, or (2) Macron and crew will do all they can to rig the election in their favor to prevent losing power. The EU has some experience rigging/preventing elections (ex. Romania), so they will certainly lend a hand. Maybe they will also import some voting machines of the types we have become familiar with. But if there is an election, and if it is a fair one, then Macron should become history. But France may not have six months.
It’s all just Pissing In The Wind until they roll out the guillotines!
DISCONTENT, you say?? “We can weigh in on the price of fuel”, “I’m going to the Gulf.” says Macron. “This isn’t OUR WAR in Iran !!”
Desperation, influencing our mid-terms but the strategy boomerangs on them. Tentacles dying off the Host of us, U.S. taxpayers slowly.
Thanks for the extra votes, the American voters want none of that manufactured, foreign, illegal infested, rent a mob, bullshit here. We vote against it.
