I red all the topic.
Don't mix up 2 events very different.
First what is called the "riots" (term very inflated) during winter.
All numbers I red are exaggerated.
Most of informations are false.
There was not a civil war in France! :mrgreen:
Take a look on the map, shown by CNN which made laugh all France a week long:
It gives an idea of the quality of the "information" given by a "journalist" unable to copy a map.
I was surprised to learn that Strasbourg sits in Germany and Toulouse in Switzerland! :mrgreen:
Not very serious really.
The second event is no more a riot.
It's march and struggle to keep the social rights which are very important for French workers and French society.
Of course, every company has the right to fire employees in France, like everywhere else but they are obliged to have a reason and to indemnify the worker sent off.
The new law (CPE) wanted to suppress the reason and the indemnisation.
Workers didn't accept that and the law has been removed.
