Trump Issues Warning As New Sinister Alliance Forms

Latest News DAILY WIRE POLITIKOOL · LATEST NEWS

Weeks of unrest in France escalated over the weekend, and Fox News now says a broad network of far-left and Muslim organizations is behind much of it. Its count came to 54 backers of what are billed as student protests, yet just 16 are actually student groups. The other 38 are unions, including teachers' unions, along with political parties. President Emmanuel Macron blamed far-left fringe groups for the violence, saying nothing justifies it and that those who tried to bring down the Republic will face consequences, according to Daily Wire.

The damage was heavy. Rioters burned the historic town hall in Limoges, set fire to the tourist office in Lyon, and fought with police in Paris, Bordeaux and Lille. Police also faced confrontations in several other European countries, including Albania, Belgium, Greece, Portugal and Spain. Fox News cites La Jeunesse Communists, Le Poing Levé and Muslim Students of France among the student organizations involved, and it also lists foreign communist and pro-Palestinian groups as supporters.

Macron separately said many agitators have a fair grievance over rising prices tied to the U. S. -Iran war, drawing criticism from those who noted he attended a Céline Dion concert just before the violence began.
