France Protests (General)
This sounds like the GODS worst nightmare ...
News: (L)ast week, the fury stepped up a notch after the government resorted to Article 49.3 of the constitution to force the bill through parliament without a vote.
A bill to raise the retirement ages & increase years of social-security contributions in order to be paid the full-pension - not by much - but it's set something off with the French public.
There have been increasingly violent scenes emerging since then, with millions of protesters taking to the streets, lighting fires, blocking roads, throwing projectiles, barricading universities and causing power outages.
Major fuel shortages are also impacting service stations across the country due to protesters blocking major locations, with the biggest nationwide protest on record for France recorded this week, with rallies held in more than 200 separate areas.
There has also been widespread industrial action across scores of sectors, with tonnes of garbage piling up in the streets of Paris with the city’s garbage collectors striking since March 6 along with workers in the oil, gas, electricity, transport and education industries.
France has had some pretty good protests in its history, so biggest on record is note-worthy. When trust in government/the experts is broken, beyond repair, that's dangerous territory.
Was always the big risk with the Covid Lie - now those chickens might be coming home to roost ...
When/if a global dissent/revolution happens, it will be chaotic - a mish-mash of different disaffected groups - with their disaffection in common.
