I do think the current government is at fault for not finding education. I am not close enough to fully understand French politics, but we are having similar political and budget issues two countries up north. Energy and housing prices are through the roof, education and heath care and social security are under pressure. Politicians can't agree on anything.

What I do find disturbing is the response, the amount of people rioting. If it wasn't the cost of living or the education, it would have been some other topic to riot over. How do you get so many people in so many places so angry, and quite suddenly? Even the yellow vest protests didn't cause this much havoc.

There are many places in the world that are much more shotty right now compared to two years ago, but those don't have these massive riots. What is causing this?

Who will benefit the most from an unstable France?
