Protesters angered by Emmanuel Macron’s pension reforms set
part of Bordeaux’s town hall on fire on Thursday, after a
day of nationwide demonstrations that brought France to a
standstill.

Videos shared widely on social media showed towering flames
climbing up the building’s front doors, curling round a
portico as cheers can be heard from a crowd of people gathered
in the town square.

. . .

There are two main actors at work in France right now.
The first are the legit protesters. However in the
background the anarchists & commies are taking advantage
of the situation and amplifying the unrest, and damages,
as best they can.

France wasn't in THAT great a shape before Covid - but
after the Covid debacle and debts and now Russia-related
expenses ... things just ain't good there. The social
contract is coming apart.

The general trend in protests/damage has been ever-UPWARDS
over the past years. Could France fall ?
