Just weeks after hugely disruptive protests and strikes over pension reforms in France finally died down, businesses in the country are grappling with the fallout from a week of rioting.

I wish we had the same mentality as French when it comes to protesting. Here people generally complain in a pub while drinking beer.
I get your point. Actively contributing to politics either by joining a party or by protesting is supporting democracy.
But looting stores and robbing people en masse only discredits peaceful protests.
The purpose of a protest is to show that you have the numbers for a riot. If the people in power know you’ll never follow through on it, they can ignore you.
Pretty sure the French government ignored them anyway. Pension reform still went through.
The irony is the ones protesting aren’t really french. Import the third world and get third world problems.
Yeah, sure, it’s not like the French are famous for protesting about everything.
Just looked at photos and there are all ethnicities present, including French people. You might want to take your racism elsewhere.
