Marc Vanguard mentioned a time when, according to him, one could wear a mask on Halloween, where it was not necessary to finance a riot tax of 400 million euros per year, and where it took ten days of riots to reach the human toll of just October 17, 2026. He also cited traders forced to barricade themselves on Saturdays, the protests capable of connecting Bastille to Nation, and the deployment of 22,000 police officers and gendarmes during an important PSG match. He recalled that it then seemed absurd to install metal detection gates at the entrance of high schools, concrete blocks around Christmas markets, or a wall of armored glass around the Eiffel Tower. He also wrote that people carrying pepper spray were considered paranoid. Vanguard believed that this period, where one could still question a possible intensification of violence, seemed to be over. According to him, violence had become a habit in France and people were more focused on adapting to it rather than fighting it. He urged not to get used to it or to resign oneself to a degradation of the country's situation. #France #Violence #Société (translated)
