I’m tired of the idea that looting stores and burning public buildings is an effective way to protest.

Most protests in Europe are also legal events. You ask for permit to march through a city. Only in some places rioters started destroying things. So far peaceful protests in Spain forced government to pass housing laws requested by people and call snap elections while all riots in France achieved is curfew.

Spain has a left wing government (the last time I looked at least) they play by the rules it seems (people ask, government provide as it can).

In France the right have sold out the country to the rich, more or less stole the prime ministers seat (after the snap elections it should have gone to the left, surprise surprise it didn’t) , they couldn’t care less about housing prices and so on.

So when you say france only obtained a curfew you show that you don’t understand those two countries political landscapes.

The fight goes on ✊🏼

  What else did they gain? After the riots support Le Pen grew. You really think this is good for the left and our fight?

    It’s just the beginning.
    
    French gvt just offered a rework on university selections which is one of the students demands, and more space in unis for more students, which is also something demanded.
    
    So what’s your deal, lay back on the floor and do nothing?
