France is leaning towards the likelihood that far-left extremists were behind last week's sabotage of the country's SNCF rail network – which coincided with the Olympic Games opening ceremony – French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said on Monday.
"We have identified the profiles of several people," Darmanin told France 2 TV, regarding the hunt for those saboteurs.
Far-left French anarchists have a history of targeting the train network with arson attacks.
The attacks were "deliberate, very precise, extremely well-targeted", Darmanin said. "This is the traditional type of action of the ultra left," he said.

Sounds like the Republic of Spain pre-Franco. People aren’t taught that leftists were terrizing the country.

What’s the Left’s problem? Didn’t they “win” the “election”? Why aren’t they happy and celebrating?

Macron will do nothing about it. He’s like the Democrats. He needs the Left’s support.

Or Russia helping the leftists, they could be behind it too
Note that Russia has a hate-on for France, because of the help it's providing in Ukraine, PLUS Russia is not allowed to compete in these Olympics
My money is on Russia ...

"likely"... so... French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin is speculating, nothing more.
My bet is on the illegal aliens who got rousted out of Paris due to the Olympics.

Notable article. I hadn’t seen the use of the term “far left” in the media.

Darmanin said,"This is the traditional type of action of the ultra left." 'Ultra' has nothing to do with this. These are the actions of The Left.

'Ultra' has nothing to do with this. These are the actions of The Left. I wouldn't assume it's the Left at all. The Olympics, as shown by the perversion in the opening ceremonies, is a Leftist event.
The rail sabotage may simply be payback from the migrants rousted out of Paris due to the Olympics.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
So the left won and now the far left are upset? funny. Sounds like the democratic party here
