Chaos erupts in the streets of Paris and elsewhere after French President abuses his powers to ram through a pet legislation project

France’s streets are now burning, and will remain so for a long time to come because of Mr. Macron’s royal two fingers to the French people who, bizarrely, elected him to begin with. It now appears that they’re reaping the fruits of their votes.
