As France burns

Macron addresses his burning nation as left-wing revolt ramps up

Vance weighs in

The consequences of elections are very real...

France is no stranger to violent riots and the recent wave of mass protests the past few weeks has been a good reminder of that fact. What started as protests over alleged conditions at schools has morphed into widespread chaos.

Saturday’s call to action was answered in droves as hundreds of thousands of rioters attacked police and set fires across the country. From Paris to Marseille to Lyon, the violence was widespread. Many buildings were either burned or looted, fires were set to vehicles, and stones were thrown at first responders.

The ongoing unrest started in late September when protests started in the suburbs of Paris over school conditions, but it was quickly seized by leftist groups and second and third generation migrants to cause mayhem. This weekend’s protest was supposedly over the cost of living being high in the country.

Due to the large-scale violence, police in France have been forced to use crowd control measures and make lots of arrests, which have only served to make the rioters even more angry.

President Emmanuel Macron issued a mild statement, saying attacks on law enforcement and bystanders would not be tolerated.

JD Vance said. 

“They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn’t listen. I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn,” Vance said.

“And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country,” he added.
