Sensible people such as their own Bridget Bardot who protested that they were dangerous and were destroying the French culture were fined and jailed. Idiots.
The rank and file Frenchmen didn't let themselves be overrun by Muzzies. They had no say in it.
The leadership did that.
I think the riots are fueled in part by that very issue.
Also feeding the flame, Rural Frenchmen heard Macron loud and clear when he said that nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. No ordinary working man wants to be controlled by some distant government over which he has no control or influence.
Macron brings to mind Obama's professorial approach to life (think Jonathan Gruber) in which untested academic theories dictate the direction of government.
Farmers and factory workers and small town merchants live in the real world and don't give a damn about academic theories.
