What is currently happening in France has nothing to do with student protests or democratic expression! 83 police officers were attacked, 32 teachers injured, hundreds of schools were set on fire, vehicles and churches were burned. There were nearly 2,000 arrests, the French Ministry of the Interior reported last night. The street scene is dominated by masked groups in outfits and young people, most of whom come from the migrant environments shaped by the suburbs, many are waving Palestinian flags. When you see these civil war-like conditions, you have to put it in context: How upset were we back then about "Fridays for Future" when school was skipped on Fridays for the climate? Compared to what is happening in France, that was harmless kindergarten. You can think what you want about the movement at that time, but no rescue workers were beaten into the hospital or school inventory destroyed there. France is a massive warning signal for Germany! When the state retreats in front of burning streets and watches ideologized and unintegrated groups take control, the monopoly on violence erodes completely. A zero-tolerance strategy is needed before such scenes become a reality for us too! #TheFrench #UrbanLandscape #Terror #TheFrench #Stadtbild #Terror #Frankreich #Proteste #Gewalt (translated)
