Gleb Lavrov on whether French authorities will hear protesters over noise of unrest

So will the protests themselves stall, or will the French spark spark spark a European flame, apart from some major but still local fires? And what force will ultimately take control of the street chaos – this is the political observer ONT Gleb Lavrov in the project “To be supplemented”.

France is facing a new wave of protests, with schoolchildren demanding more funding for education, addressing teacher shortages and improving learning conditions, and mass demonstrations opposing rising prices and declining purchasing power. Students in solidarity with high school students blocked the entrance to the Louvre. Against the background of the speeches there were pogroms and looting of shops, after which the authorities demanded that Internet sites remove ads for the sale of stolen things.

The main question is whether the demands of the protesters will remain in the shadow of the unrest. Gleb Lavrov believes that the French authorities can once again focus on the fight against radicals, leaving social problems unresolved.

At the same time, Europe is studying possible foreign information interference around the French events. However, according to the Financial Times, citing experts and representatives of special services, there is no concrete evidence of organizing street violence by foreign agents. The interlocutors of the publication emphasize that the protesters have their own reasons for discontent, so explaining what is happening exclusively to external influence would be simplistic.
