Notable how little discussion of the riots there is on Bluesky mind. Limoges town hall has been burned to the ground…

Also almost all of those people are now (sadly, in most cases) dead but a terrible publication can still use them as victims of a thing that isn’t happening.

French riots might ostensibly be good news for Marine Le Pen and RN. But possible there might be a serious backlash vs LFI and Melenchon, which in turn puts a centrist into final two, and thus hurts Le Pen. Political implications of riots are complex.

Also a reminder that the state election results that were so catastrophic in 2018 that Merkel was compelled to step down as CDU party chair was a 27% showing in Hessen. Compare this to recent results for the CDU under Merz in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern where the party was eliminated entirely.
