Here, there was no context to the riots other than "go to plaça Catalunya and break/steal things", no political demand whatsoever, it was a totally opportunistic chaos and nothing like I've seen in France or Spain ever.
The French government needs to stop spending money it doesn't have when it can barely keep the lights on. New taxes in a country where the GPD is already taxed at 45%, please, give me a break.
It's almost unusable I can't believe it passed QA _and_ is still not fixed.
Anything but address the actual issues that helped catapult them to the top.
On the left, they mostly seem to be attracted to the Mélenchon option: raise salaries, freeze prices, tax the rich. To answer your question, I would then assume that the idea of expropriation is the most appealing to them. For the French, the current situation is the result of Macronism-fuelled inequality. That's not to say there isn't a kernel of truth to it, but France has been running on fumes for a long time, and the French don't seem to understand that we can't keep financing the current level of public expenditure (57% of GDP) with OAT yields approaching 5%, not that they understand what that means anyway.
