Fresh curfews were being imposed across the city centers of Paris and Lyon on Tuesday after the first quiet night since France’s most destructive rioting in years.

    French here. This is all escalading quickly. They’re planning on sending the army and special forces to secure next saturday’s protests. I wouldn’t be surprised they use similar forces to enforce potential future curfews. People from center to moderate left to far left are horrified. Authoritarianism at it’s best. Seems like a popular flavor all around the world. Very scary

      They have successfully turned a protest into a riot. I feel bad for the people that actually want change instead of some free looted shit.
