Haven’t been following this.....Why are the French protesting so much? Can’t be religious objection - maybe snobbery (it is, after all called the “English vice”). Whatever the reason, it’s sort of awkward to have the French doing something that has been beat out of us.
Well the Civitas group certainly is motivated by that. Can't speak for the others.
It is mainly a religious objection. French Christians are a little more devout than neighbors further north. This is also seen as yet more social engineering by a failed government. The growing youth movement, ‘Generation Identitaire’ is grounded in traditional, Christian values, and seeks to reverse the modern cultural vacuum.
French Christians are very active when they are threatened, much like Christians in Eastern Europe.
