France’s Fifth Republic is a fairly remote system of government. Power is concentrated in the Elysee Palace and parliament is downgraded. So people – workers, farmers, students, immigrants, pensioners – often feel their only way of being heard is to cause mayhem. Monarchy tempered by riot, one might say. And out-of-touch presidents never see it coming. It’s become almost a ritual. Now, once again, France’s rulers have been taken by surprise and all they can do is call out the riot squads. What began as a protest against fuel taxes has turned into a general movement of frustration and anger. Anger against what people feel to be the injustices and inequalities that stem from the great crash of 2007-08, and against the fact that the rich and clever seem never to suffer, while (as the French say) ‘it’s always the same ones who pay’. The French economy has been underperforming for years. Unemployment, especially among the young, has been chronically high.
