🇫🇷 550,000 marched and more than 1,800 were arrested across France over the cost of living, and the party leading the 2027 race is, according to two French commentators, Macron on Europe, Ukraine and climate with a different name Students started it over money the state doesn't have, the suburbs moved into the big cities after 6pm, police looked, in Raptor's telling, like they'd been told to stand back, and Alexis says Macron's night before the worst of it was a Celine Dion concert. Alexis Poulin, French journalist, says the yellow vests never went away because nothing changed since 2018: "There is not enough money for our schools, for our hospitals, for our firemen. But there is always enough money for war with the Russians." Alexis puts the Ukraine war and EU sanctions at 80% of the anger, with summer wildfires burning while water bombers sat short and billions flew to Kyiv. Le Raptor, French commentator and business owner, says an employer pays a worker's €1,500 salary and roughly the same again to the state, which makes hiring hard, and that the government's answer to looted shops is tighter control of social media. Both call Le Pen a continuation of Macron on Europe, Ukraine and climate, which means France's next revolution may get voted in with nothing to show for it. @WeTheBrandon @RaptorVsWild
