The classic 1966 movie Is Paris Burning? centers around Adolf Hitler’s desire, as the Allied armies advance through France in 1944, to see Paris destroyed rather than fall into the hands of his enemies. Paris didn’t burn in 1944, but the conflagration, as it turns out, was just delayed. CNN reported Friday that “Paris and most major cities – including Lyon, Marseille, Lille, Bordeaux and Rennes – have been hit by protests.” Hitler is finally getting his wish. But why now?
France is in turmoil, CNN added, because of “proposed pension reforms.” Reportedly, “many people are unhappy with President Emmanuel Macron’s pension reform, which will raise the full-pension retirement age from 62 to 64. They’re also angry that he used constitutional powers to push the reform through.” France’s legendary welfare system has hit a wall.

Do you hear the people sing?
Sounds kinda “Insurrectiony”
They have more guts than we do.
HOW do you hire a person who does not speak/ read/ write/ understand the local language???
How do you hire a person that you cannot check background for skills & NO CRIMINAL PAST???
Well, with all the migrants, at least we wont have to suffer the sound of the french language making our ears bleed for too much longer other than the Franglish in Canadia
When I’ve gone to Paris, I heard more Arabic than French.
This is interesting as there is quite a passion for people to retire while they are still for the most part able-bodied.
Vote Democrat!
It’s odd... The French become passionate when you raise their retirement age... But when the German’s came marching into town, they waved Nazi flags and cheered on Hitler.
They really do need to get their priorities figured out.
Well. They had the same government for a good 4 years under The Reich.
That’s a long time for the French. So they had that going for them.😉
And Joan of Arc was martyred for this future Macron insanity? She is probably turning in her grave as we speak.
She was a sister who really cooked.
Question-Is this where Cajuns get they background? Start in Canada. Deport them too New Orleans. What for? I heard they can be crazy.
**The classic 1966 movie Is Paris Burning?***
Saw it way back then! Now got it on DVD. Very hard to find.
Interesting scene where a man with glasses urges young Parisians to riot, then we find the man is a Gestapo agent and the young people are then shot.
Reminds me of something similar in January of 2020.
History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme.
Maybe I just don’t understand the French, but I find it difficult to understand why moving the retirement age from 62 to 64 is causing all these protests and violence, when the people of France are mostly silent on their government allowing widespread Arab and African immigration into France. What am I not understanding here?
France isn’t burning as bad as Hitler wanted Paris to in 1944, not yet.
But there are some demonstration fires being lit on doors and trash containers, bus stop shelters etc. etc.
Most of the folks in N. Africa and sub-Saharan Africa are Francophones—that’s why they migrate to France.
