I am appalled by the violent riots and everything that has been destroyed. Ulrich Wickert to BILD: "I am appalled by the violent riots and everything that has been destroyed. Such escalations during demonstrations are unfortunately nothing new in France. Even when I was a correspondent in Paris in the 1980s, I experienced intense protests. At that time, the police also fired into the crowd, and a boy had his hand shot off. Even later, we have repeatedly seen demonstrations escalate, for example during the Yellow Vests protests." #Frankreich #Krawalle #UlrichWickert (translated)

The approval ratings for Macron have never been this low. His electoral power rests on a very narrow base of wealthy French people and university-educated individuals from the upper middle class. He lost the parliamentary elections two years ago, but due to the way French democracy works, a president can simply remain in power, even if a majority of left- and right-wing French people reject his policies. The political support for Macron has only become narrower in recent years – and the sense of powerlessness among the French has grown even greater, notes French economist Bruno Amable, author of the book L’Illusion du bloc bourgeois (2017). #Frankrijk #protesten #geweld (translated)
