Is France Burning?*

Another Real Revolution?

And we’re not hearing about these events at all from legacy media here. Been happening since last week, at least.

Why the blackout in Western media?

And how will all this end?

Good watch: this week’s UK Column News show discusses these events in the first 14 mins.

Look at what French news Twitter pages are covering:

THE REALITY:

🇫🇷France Protests 🇫🇷✊🏻 MASSIVE ARRIVAL OF DEMONSTRATORS IN THE CENTER OF PARIS 🔎 Thousands of French citizens gather on the Place de la Concorde (in the center of Paris, a famous place because King Louis XVI was guillotined there). 📌 https://t.co/3gVxpv8Chj

Fuel stations empty.

FRANCE - Protests in refineries 1800 fuel stations reported as now empty. France is being brought to it's knees with the biggest nationwide protests happening in history. Macron still hasn’t understood that the power of people is stronger than the people in power 🔥

Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media

FRANCE: Having been told by the government to ensure it stayed open, the staff at a fuel depot for gas stations in the southeast of France decided to side with the people instead. #FranceProtests #FranceRiots

Protests in cities across France. Day 11 today.

#FranceProtests Day 11 of Macrons protest ban. The French march on

Massive anti-Macron protests happening in France right now are not receiving the wall-to-wall headline news coverage in Western media that they deserve despite their size and significance. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Shehnaz @ShehnazIK92

France's population is 70 million & 9 million protestors are on the streets. Revolution 2.0 France #France2 #FranceProtests

Brutality by French police.

Vanessa Beeley (in report for UK Column) says a special extra-violent police force with blue bands are deployed upon protesters, too.

Hassan Mafi ‏ @thatdayin1992

The level of police brutality in France is beyond shame. Why is western media silent on this? French police violently beat up protesters.

Terrible repression in France. Macron's police beat students, women and the elderly who dare to demonstrate. Some journalists were also affected. Macron is a real criminal.

Some police (and firemen, see tweet just below) joining the protesters.

James Melville @JamesMelville

Meanwhile in Paris, France 🇫🇷 Some of the police are stepping down and showing solidarity with the protesters. It’s a beautiful sight.

James Melville @JamesMelville

France 🇫🇷 French firefighters are now joining the protesters. Once the public and public sector workers start uniting in solidarity of protest, that’s when a government is in trouble. People power. #FranceProtests
