O presidente da França, Emmanuel Macron, prometeu impedir que os distúrbios e saques do último fim de semana se repitam, enquanto o movimento dos Coletes Amarelos apresentou planos para uma grande marcha em Paris no sábado (24).

Macron afirmou nesta quarta-feira (21) que aqueles que tentarem causar desordem nos próximos protestos serão impedidos, enquanto o primeiro-ministro Sébastien Lecornu se reuniu com líderes sindicais em um esforço para amenizar uma das piores crises que a França enfrenta nos últimos anos.

Um representante do movimento “Gilets Jaunes” (Coletes Amarelos), um grupo de base não vinculado aos sindicatos, apresentou planos para uma marcha pelo centro de Paris, incluindo áreas que foram saqueadas há poucos dias.

Grupos estudantis também convocaram protestos para o mesmo dia, a fim de pressionar por maiores investimentos na educação. Os ativistas dos Coletes Amarelos buscam reativar sua campanha, que surgiu em 2018, contra o aumento do custo de vida e o declínio dos serviços públicos.

As manifestações do último fim de semana degeneraram rapidamente em violência desenfreada, especialmente em Paris, Marselha, Lyon e Limoges, e a polícia, sobrecarregada, levou horas para conter os distúrbios.

Destacando a preocupação dos investidores com a situação, os custos de endividamento do governo francês dispararam nesta semana, elevando os rendimentos dos títulos de referência de 10 anos para 5%, o nível mais alto desde julho de 2002.

Analistas afirmaram que o movimento refletiu preocupações de que a agitação pudesse complicar os esforços do governo para sanar as finanças públicas em tensão, em um momento de pressões orçamentárias já crescentes.

Macron pontuou que se reuniria com autoridades de inteligência, Lecornu e outros ministros na quinta-feira (22) para obter um relato detalhado dos distúrbios de 17 de outubro.

“Aqueles que quiserem causar desordem nos centros das cidades no próximo sábado serão impedidos de fazê-lo”, declarou Macron a repórteres durante uma visita ao Catar, onde vem buscando acordos no setor de energia enquanto a França enfrenta o aumento dos custos dos combustíveis.

“Não pode haver hesitação no topo do Estado”, adicionou.

O líder francês acusou alguns líderes estrangeiros de espalharem desinformação sobre o que havia acontecido. O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, em particular, atribuiu a turbulência à imigração em massa e ao islamismo radical, dizendo que se tratava de um aviso para os norte-americanos.

Questionado se estava se referindo a Trump, Macron disse: “Entre outros”, acrescentando que alguns políticos estrangeiros estavam tentando tirar proveito político às custas da França.

“Não precisamos disso. Já temos dificuldades com as quais lidar”, afirmou.

El motor y el zumbido de las aspas del helicóptero de la policía, que sobrevuela el centro de París con un potente foco que alumbra sus callejones desde hace dos días, es lo único que rompe el silencio impuesto en las últimas noches. La capital de Francia, como las otras grandes ciudades donde hubo disturbios el pasado sábado, se ha blindado a través de un despliegue policial enorme y toques de queda que restringen los movimientos de los ciudadanos a partir de las nueve de la noche. Pero el ruido continúa durante el día en la esfera política y mediática y en las redes sociales, donde se cocina la manifestación convocada para el sábado: el segundo acto, según los chalecos amarillos.

El presidente Francés acusó a Donald Trump y a otros líderes de difundir bulos con inteligencia artificial sobre una supuesta invasión islamista.

O presidente francês, Emmanuel Macron, afirmou nesta quarta-feira (21) que o país já enfrenta dificuldades e não precisa que líderes estrangeiros usem seus problemas em campanhas eleitorais.

O político, que está no Catar, também anunciou que se reunirá com os serviços de inteligência na quinta-feira (22), antes de novos protestos previstos para o sábado (24).

A fala trouxe indiretas ao presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, que tem criticado os protestos em meio à campanha para as Eleições de Meio de Mandato.

O republicano fez críticas às manifestações, afirmando que a imigração de pessoas vindas de mundos completamente diferentes “destruiu o país”.

Em uma publicação na rede social Truth Social, Trump insistiu que as fronteiras fossem fechadas antes que fosse tarde demais.

“A França está em chamas! A imigração de pessoas vindas de um mundo completamente diferente — pessoas com ódio no coração — destruiu o que um dia foi um grande país. Fechem as fronteiras e retomem o controle, antes que seja tarde demais!”, escreveu ele.

Para a analista de Internacional da CNN Fernanda Magnotta, Trump ainda trouxe o caso como pano de fundo retórico durante um comício realizado no Kansas, afirmando que os Estados Unidos “queimarão como a França” caso os democratas levem a maioria no Congresso, como estimam pesquisas.

A declaração foi feita a duas semanas do pleito, em um momento em que as pesquisas apontam para uma aprovação de apenas cerca de 30% do governo republicano.

Para a Magnotta, a fala de Trump representa uma mistura inadequada de elementos de naturezas distintas.

Os protestos europeus — que se estendem além da França, alcançando Itália, Áustria e outros países — têm como base comum a insatisfação com os serviços prestados pelo Estado, a qualidade da educação e, sobretudo, a percepção de aumento do custo de vida.

“A estética do que vem acontecendo em Paris, principalmente, tem chocado o mundo todo, com violência, repressão e uma série de atitudes”, afirmou Magnotta.

Expectativa para o fim de semana

As autoridades francesas prometeram uma presença policial “massiva” para os protestos planejados para sábado (24) e impuseram toques de recolher localizados pelo segundo dia consecutivo, enquanto o país lida com as consequências dos piores distúrbios vistos em anos.

As medidas ocorrem após protestos relacionados à educação e ao custo de vida terem se transformado, no fim de semana, em uma onda de violência letal por todo o país — cenário que desencadeou uma troca de acusações no campo político interno e ameaça se espalhar para países vizinhos na Europa.

O primeiro-ministro Sébastien Lecornu afirmou que os “toques de recolher pontuais” ajudaram a manter a calma durante a noite de segunda (19) para terça-feira (20). Ele admitiu que os serviços de inteligência falharam ao identificar a gravidade da situação e reconheceu que as estratégias de segurança adotadas anteriormente eram estáticas demais.

A polícia de Paris anunciou um toque de recolher noturno, a partir das 23h de terça-feira, nas áreas mais afetadas — nos arredores da Place de la République e de Les Halles. Outras cidades, incluindo Bordeaux e Lille, também vão adotar a medida.

O ministro do Interior, Laurent Nuñez, declarou aos parlamentares na Assembleia Nacional que lamenta profundamente a violência ocorrida no fim de semana e assumiu parte da responsabilidade, ao mesmo tempo em que apontou o papel de opositores políticos e dos envolvidos nos atos de destruição.

A UNEF, principal sindicato estudantil da França, convocou novos protestos para sábado e afirmou que o movimento não cessará até que suas reivindicações sejam atendidas. A CGT, uma das maiores centrais sindicais do país, informou que participará das manifestações, defendendo que elas sejam pacíficas.

Os toques de recolher foram implementados após a prisão de mais de 2 mil pessoas no último fim de semana. O saldo inclui pelo menos duas mortes e relatos de ferimentos graves — incluindo duas pessoas que perderam as mãos.

Protestos na França refletem o que será da Europa em 2027, diz especialista

 

A little over a month ago, at a high school on the outskirts of Paris, a group of students blocked their school to protest the condition of the facilities and the lack of teachers. Within days, students from other schools joined in, first in Paris and then across the country, complaining of leaks in classrooms and even cockroaches, and of walls that are cracking. They are cold in the winter and hot in the spring. That image of public schools — long considered a pillar of the French Republic, but gradually falling apart — also illustrates the economic decline of recent years.

Hace poco más de un mes, en un instituto de la periferia parisina un grupo de estudiantes bloqueó su centro educativo para protestar por el estado de las instalaciones y la falta de profesores. En pocos días se sumaron alumnos de otros institutos, primero en París, luego por todo el territorio nacional, que denunciaban que tienen goteras en las clases y hasta cucarachas, y que las paredes se resquebrajan. Pasan frío en invierno y calor en primavera. Esa imagen descrita por algunos, la de una escuela pública considerada el pilar de la República francesa pero que se va fracturando poco a poco, ilustra también el declive económico de los últimos años.

Alemania lleva años viendo cómo merman las inversiones privadas en el país, algo que no puede compensar de manera sostenible con un aumento de las inversiones públicas como está haciendo actualmente el Gobierno alemán. La inestabilidad económica y política de los últimos tiempos parece haber pasado factura a la imagen del país como centro económico y de inversión. Ahora, el canciller alemán, Friedrich Merz, quiere ponerle remedio y ha organizado, por primera vez, una cumbre de inversores de alto nivel con el objetivo de atraer más capital al país. Alemania necesita la inversión privada si quiere modernizarse, crear empleo y generar prosperidad.

"Is Paris Burning?"

The title of that 1960s movie came from a message Adolf Hitler sent to his commanding general in Paris in August 1944. He wanted Paris to burn if he couldn’t keep it.

Today, the call isn’t coming from the Führerbunker; it’s from inside the house. It’s not Nazis, but the French — and quasi-French — burning Paris and other French cities.

The Louvre museum in Paris, home to the Mona Lisa, closed Monday "due to a student social movement." That’s one way to describe the utter chaos overtaking French cities.

PHOTOS SHOW AFTERMATH OF RIOTS AS MASKED GROUPS CLASH WITH POLICE ACROSS FRANCE

In Limoges, rioters set fire to the town hall, destroying its iconic tower. In Marseille, they broke into city hall and vandalized the interior. In Paris, a video circulating online appeared to show young thugs shouting, "Wallah! Kill her!" and "Dirty whore!" [my translation] at a policewoman they chased and threw to the ground — all while trashing property and assaulting people on the streets.

What’s happening in France is both familiar and new. It’s familiar in that mass protests are endemic to France. They happen every few years when a feckless government tries to balance the books by reforming France’s ruinously generous public benefits. What’s new is the addition of foreign influence and the scale of the violence.

FRENCH SCHOOL RIOTS DEEPEN AS EXPERTS POINT TO FAR-LEFT ALLIANCE FUELING ‘BROADER CONFRONTATION’

The high-schoolers who kicked off this round of protests are angry about class sizes, dilapidated schools, and access to college. Retirees who joined them say state pensions aren’t enough to live on. Everyone complains about the high cost of living. They all want more state spending to cure their ills.

French protests often turn violent. Torched cars, vandalized property, and looting are common. What has added fuel to the fire this time is the "Casseurs" (breakers), looters, and violent thugs going beyond what was tacitly tolerated in the past. Many seem to be of migrant background, and some carry Palestinian flags or those of the North African countries they or their parents came from.

FRANCE ROCKED BY STUDENT RIOTS AS HUNDREDS ARRESTED, VIOLENCE SPREADS NATIONWIDE

Videos in French media showed streets of looted stores. Rue Paradis in Marseille has many high-end jewelry and fashion stores, but also many mom-and-pop shops whose owners work long hours for little profit. Dozens of these are now looted shells. Their metal shutters — designed to prevent windows from being broken and stores from being burglarized — lie torn off or broken.

Many of France’s major cities are run by socialists. Marseille’s mayor, Benoit Payan, blames the French government for failing to protect city hall — where his own office is — and local stores. He wants Paris to pay for all the damage. Once again, the French taxpayer is on the hook.

LIMOGES TOWN HALL 'LARGELY LOST' AFTER FAR-LEFT RIOTERS SET HISTORIC BUILDING ON FIRE AMID FRENCH UNREST

How does this end? Not quickly. The political left is well organized, galvanized, and funded — including with foreign money. We are likely to see more promises of increased spending from lame-duck President Emmanuel Macron, now in the last year of his two terms and unable to run again. He gave a speech condemning the violence on Sunday, but he’s been notably absent as it has unfolded. On Tuesday he stuck with his schedule and flew to the Gulf region.

France has presidential elections next April. Two leading contenders are Marine Le Pen of the right-wing National Rally (NR) and Jean-Luc Melenchon of the left-wing France Unbowed (LFI). Of the two, Le Pen promises to lower migration and limit welfare payments to migrants. Melenchon welcomes mass migration and opposes any reduction in benefits. Le Pen opposes illegal migration, but she hasn’t campaigned on reducing the bloated benefits bill.

MACRON JETS OUT OF RIOT-TORN FRANCE FOR GULF TRIP AS POLITICAL PRESSURE MOUNTS

But France’s checkbook is tapped out. It hasn’t balanced a budget in 50 years, and this year’s deficit is over 5%. Economic growth is under 1%. Diesel costs about $10 a gallon. National debt is 120% of GDP, and the bond market is getting nervous.

Like other developed countries, France’s fertility rate is below replacement, and the country has allowed in millions of immigrants from its former colonies. On balance, these new arrivals and their children have a lower employment rate than native French, but they get the same social services. Those numbers don’t work, no matter how smart the president in Paris.

Not only is France broke, but it has too few bodies to handle multiple riots at once. France’s national police handle the cities, while the gendarmes enforce the law in the countryside. Both are funded centrally by the French state. Towns have municipal police, but they aren’t equipped or trained for law enforcement, let alone riot control. France has specialized riot-control units, but only so many. The French military is probably Europe’s best, but it is not used for internal operations.

Like France, some of our major cities, New York and Seattle, are now run by avowed socialists. Arguably, administrations in Boston and Los Angeles are also closely aligned with DSA values. And more cities will be in the future. 

The DSA wants open borders, nationalized health care, curtailed law enforcement, and higher taxes. If we don’t take heed, France’s present could be our future.

Francia está asediada por las protestas y el vandalismo desatado tras las manifestaciones de las últimas semanas. Unas 800.000 personas salieron en unas 110 marchas a la calle el sábado. Después llegaron los saqueos y los incendios. Murió una persona, y los ayuntamientos de Limoges, Marsella y Lille sufrieron gravísimos daños. Hay más de 2.000 detenidos, y las grandes ciudades de Francia decretaron toques de queda por las noches. El Ejecutivo ha admitido haber perdido el control de la situación, el ministro del Interior presentó su dimisión, aunque fue rechazada por el presidente de la República, Emmanuel Macron. Pero antes de que se apagaran los primeros incendios, la clase política ya tenía un culpable: Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

FIRST ON FOX: The State Department warns that antifascist groups are planning to participate in a "potentially more confrontational protest" this weekend as the far-right National Rally holds its political convention just days after widespread riots overwhelmed police and exposed major security failures.

As party leader Marine Le Pen prepares for the gathering on Oct. 24–25 in Orléans, France, an internal document obtained by Fox News Digital cautions that antagonists are planning more demonstrations near the convention venue that could "expose further security shortcomings and deepen political tensions."

The warning comes at a particularly dangerous political moment for President Emmanuel Macron, considering the same unrest that exposed his government's security vulnerabilities could also give National Rally and center-right parties an opening to challenge his record, according to the State Department assessment.

GLOBAL 'CHAOS INC' GROWS TO 101 GROUPS WITH PLANS FOR NEW ROUNDS OF DEMONSTRATIONS

Now, French authorities face another high-stakes security test as demonstrators prepare to converge on the congress of a party that could benefit politically from the previous unrest.

The demonstrations are expected to coincide with the National Rally's two-day party congress, where Le Pen is set to launch her presidential campaign. Left-wing parties, unions and activist groups are planning a march Saturday, while antifascist groups have announced plans for a separate protest Sunday near the convention venue, according to the State Department assessment.

WHO'S WHO: INSIDE FRANCE'S 'CHAOS INC.' FRANCHISE OF COMMUNIST GROUPS, LABOR UNIONS AND GLOBAL ACTIVISTS

National Rally President Jordan Bardella has ruled out canceling the congress, while local authorities are preparing additional security restrictions around the gathering.

The looming confrontation comes as France is still reeling from the Oct. 17 unrest, when authorities badly underestimated the scale of demonstrations that descended into widespread rioting and looting.

Some 550,000 people joined 110 marches nationwide, according to France's Interior Ministry. More than 2,400 people were arrested, nearly 1,000 law enforcement officers and firefighters were injured and thousands of businesses were damaged. And intelligence failures that far underestimated the turnout left authorities overwhelmed and facing more than double the number of protesters originally estimated.

The State Department's internal assessment notes that the violence has reshaped France's political debate just six months before voters choose Macron's successor. It says the unrest has shifted attention away from the economic and education grievances that initially drove the protests and toward public security and government accountability, potentially giving National Rally and center-right parties an opening to challenge Macron's record.

French officials have acknowledged that intelligence and planning failures contributed to authorities being overwhelmed during the Oct. 17 unrest.

Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez offered his resignation after acknowledging police "lost control" in some major cities. Macron rejected it, citing the need for continuity in law enforcement command, and ordered "full transparency" over the failures in planning and intelligence-gathering that preceded the violence.

Nuñez has said authorities need to improve their ability to anticipate large-scale mobilizations, putting added pressure on security services to avoid a repeat when demonstrators converge on Orléans this weekend.

And the government may have little time to recover even if the National Rally congress passes without major violence.

Labor organizations are already mobilizing for nationwide strikes and demonstrations Nov. 5 over wages, public services and the proposed 2027 budget, according to the State Department document.

The internal assessment said Macron faces competing pressure to restore order while addressing the grievances fueling the protests, with limited fiscal room for concessions as parliament debates next year's budget.

With parliamentary scrutiny looming and further demonstrations already planned, the State Department assessed that France faces another potential flash point that could "expose further security shortcomings and deepen political tensions."
