It’s been 40 years since my first major riots in Paris. The 1986-7 ones were also ostensibly over education funding, slashed by Chirac’s centre-right cabinet. The riots forced a reversal. Another consequence was the first electoral rise of fascist Le Pen (père). Plus ça change

A wrong focus. The press paid a lot of attention to the damages and the riots, but the actual reasons for the students' protests where pushed aside. #France #students #protests #education #riots @cartoonmovement.com @cartooningforpeace.bsky.social

One of the reasons the French protest like this isn’t because French police is more lenient than elsewhere, it isn’t, French police is absolutely brutal and uses weapons the other EU nations have banned The big difference is the sense of community, never playing it solo & creating a societal block
