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:

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)
Macron is the antithesis of a national leader. What a slimy, lying little whimp.
I think it’s best if Secretary of State Rubio put all US citizens on high alert in France, instructing them to leave in the near future and take their money out of all EU banks, and return to the USA where they are under USA protection. They have ZERO protection of Americaan citizen rights in France, or any other country.
euronews is describing the Islamic horde and radicals causing the literal terror state conditions as
“students protesting loss of adequate educational funding”
“students protesting the new rules for maintaining student status”
what Euronews and the rest of the euro media maniacs are not broadcasting is that nearly all of these so called protestors are organized, are Islamic or Islamic sympathizers, and that few of any of them are actually students.
the videos avoid showing the masked faces too. And when you do see the masks, the people wearing them are not dark complexion.
it’s so obvious. And here’s the kicker. It’s obvious that amateur video on social media about the reality on the ground has been censored. heavily.
France doesn’t want the world and its own people know what is going on.
I wonder why? /s
God Bless America
Do ya think this kind of sh*t is happening in Hungary or Poland? Yeah, me neither.
Well no because their racist policies result in adequate student funding so there is nothing to complain about.

The French are justifiably upset about the cost of energy during their long commutes from their suburban sprawl homes into the city in their electric cars in the energy policies they vote for.

Hubby and I were watching videos of the “protests” in France last night. At one point I said to him how long before they blame President Trump…
TG we have Trump fighting back against the islamo/commie takeover.
Macron, like Carney & the rest of the globalist imperialists, just a roll over.
He doesn’t know what is going on? I could explain it to him. Starts with importing all the jihadists from Africa and the Middle East. And they are ALL jihadists.
Macron is Tim Walz without the plaid shirt. For days after the George Floyd riots broke out in the Twin Cities, Walz was nowhere to be found. Even the liberal media outlet wondered on air, “Where is the governor?” When he did emerge, it became a blame-fest between Walz and Mpls Mayor Jacob Frey who would not take responsibility. However, they united in blaming Trump for the results of their incompetence.

I’m struggling to understand how high fuel prices, which strangely didn’t cause riots during Biden’s residency, are linked to the standards and provision of education.
I suspect that the DS is getting very, very nervous about losing Iran, losing elections and losing power. I think, if this continues they might lose more than that.
Waiting for the Corsican Brigadier General to order grapeshot.
Macron will have to be rescued by helicopter from the roof.
I’ll have to know how the 80 year olds voted before I care.
