Paris Is Still Burning – An Update From France

In an effort to get protests under control, the French government has banned demonstrations near the National Assembly building. That measure does not seem to have dampened the wave of popular unrest sweeping the country.

Violent clashes between protesters and police in Paris continue. Demonstrators have blocked streets and started street fires. The police have resorted to the widespread use of water cannons and tear gas.

Violence was also reported on Saturday in the southern city of Lyon. Peaceful demonstrations have occurred as well in a number of other major French cities. Strikes are expanding.

Paris is full of garbage, what is happening in France? also because the president wants more money to fund the Ukraine war and other wars in the future (it's none of his business). Everyone was very angry.

The tenor of the protests is also changing. Many demonstrations now include calls for France to leave NATO in protest of the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Anti-NATO protests in France.. ZERO media coverage? 🤔

A vote of no confidence may take place in the French Parliament as early as Monday.

Macron decided to trigger the "nuclear option" Article 49.3 to adopt his pension reform plan without the French National Assembly. The government may collapse: His decision is expected to trigger a no-confidence vote. France is Burning. Uncontrolled. https://t.co/HLcwwiPjDm

BREAKING NEWS: African Union has asked France to respect human rights and the right to protest for all French citizens. AU also released travel advisory to all Africans, putting Paris on red list for Africans not to travel there. AU and all African Media had one job 😂😁

We will continue to update our coverage of the protests in France as events warrant.
