The media here, when they actually mention what is happening (usually done so in passing), blame these riots 100% on raising the pension age 2 years. Since you are on the ground there what is your take on the causes? I have argued that it is merely todays trigger but that the riots are really about all the tyranny going on for the last decades and a continuation of the yellow vest movement plus vax genocide.
Most french people just went on strike, made signs and shouted "Macron demission" (macron resignation) in the streets and went back to work the next day. Like it happened a thousand times here. Few weeks passed by and less and less people are in the streets. Riots are only the result of few people, mostly Communist Black Blocks or sometimes yellow vests.
"Normal" people went on strike this time because the worker unions (controlled opposition) said "let's go" and sadly, for the most part, they have already forget about the COVID vax circus, it's really about the age of the retirement...
Its about Macron assuming the powers of dictatorship by trying to push the raising of the retirement age without a vote in parliament, the president cannot do this by himself. If he is allowed to do this he can make anything he wants into law.
And yet he is allowed to do this, he did it last october about the new healthcare system, he did it a few years back with the el khomri law, parody of democracy

Thanks for the clarity.
