People want to imagine why things are happening in the context of what a good revolt should be about. I see no coherent group of actors leading the ‘revolt’. These riots have attracted the typical people who always engage in such actions. This isn’t about immigrants or freedom. That might be what ‘we’ want it to be about. But, the French want the state, but not have to pay for it.
They submitted a list of demands to the govt last Fri which included "France First".
They have a regional leadership structure and a replacement for Macron chosen ( general somebody).
This is 100% about freedom, taxes, and immigration. You are completely wrong.
You are ignorant about the French. This is about French Sovereignty. Immigration, Taxes, and Liberty.
