EUROPE BRACES. Masked rioters and looters are rampaging through towns and cities across France, storming town halls, setting historic buildings on fire, and ransacking luxury stores.

These include bourgeois department stores like Louis Vuitton in Bordeaux and Hermès in Marseille. Groups dressed in black clash with police and attempt to advance toward centers of power in Paris.

Notre Dame II

The historic Limoges City Hall, which was 143 years old, collapsed after left-wing and Islamist-aligned rioters set it on fire.

In Toulouse, a hijab was placed on a statue of Joan of Arc, with a Palestinian flag positioned nearby, while rioters across the country are carrying Palestinian flags.

Popular uprising

Although pundits claim these are not student protests but socialist, communist, and Islamist-backed and funded riots, the popular mood is far more general. The left riot whilst the right prepares.

Of course, political groups of all persuasions are quick to take advantage but this is a peoples struggle against liberal globalism.

Marine Le Pen points to the socialist government and uncontrolled immigration from Muslim-majority countries.

Left and Right vs. Globalism

Palestinian flags, the desecration of national symbols such as Marianne and Joan of Arc, and the involvement of far-left elements have interconnected with Islamist-linked networks during previous student protests.

Half a million insurrectionists

Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez reported 550,000 rioters in the streets nationwide, including around 110,000 in Paris, while organizers put the overall turnout at approximately 800,000.

Around 400 people have been arrested, the vast majority of them adults.

Looters take advantage

In Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône Prefect Jacques Witkowski said authorities were dealing with ‘7,000–8,000 looters, not protesters.’

Dozens of shops in the city center were ransacked, including the Hermès boutique, an SFR store, clothing shops, and others.

Masked rioters used street security barriers as battering rams to break through the double wooden doors of the town hall at the Vieux-Port.

Chants of ‘C’est la Révolution, on prend la Bastille!’ (‘This is the Revolution; we’re taking the Bastille!’) could be heard.

Mayor Benoît Payan received police reinforcements after contacting President Emmanuel Macron. He condemned the attackers as people who belonged in prison, stating that they were not legitimate demonstrators.

Police Stations under fire

The municipal police station on Canebière was also vandalized, with smoke bombs thrown inside.

In Bordeaux, looters attacked the Louis Vuitton store, the Apple Store, Decathlon, and other retailers along the shopping streets. The official residence of the Gironde prefect was ransacked, and the elite RAID tactical unit was deployed.

City Hall Aflame

In Limoges, masked groups stormed the 19th-century city hall and set it on fire, destroying the building.

The bell tower collapsed, the roof caved in onto the lower floors, except for the western wing, and two-thirds of the façade disappeared.

Prefect Maurice Barate called it a ‘heritage catastrophe’ and ‘an act committed by deliberate vandals, not protesters.’

Historic decorative works inside, including paintings by Henri-Paul Motte, ceiling and wall decorations by Jean-Joseph Weerts, and works by Urbain Bourgeois, are lost due to the near-total destruction of the protected landmark.

In Paris, masked rioters wearing goggles threw projectiles and fireworks near Place de la République. Police responded with tear gas and water cannons.

Cars and a newspaper kiosk were set on fire.

More than 300 rioters reached the lower end of the Champs-Élysées, an area police had closed off because of its proximity to government buildings.

Paris Mayor Emmanuel Grégoire (a socialist) described entire streets as having been systematically trashed.

In Lyon, a tourist office was set on fire.

Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu blamed ‘far-left’ groups and criminals who had treated the day as a ‘warm-up’ ahead of next year’s presidential election.
