The footage of this protest was filmed in September, 2025 but the reason for the protest and riots are still the same cost of living, student rights and their current government. Crazy times. Over 500,000 people have taken to the streets across France. Protesters and rioters have set fire to historic buildings, destroyed famous statues, and looted thousands of stores. Police have been seen driving away after being attacked and overwhelmed by the number of rioters as clashes broke out across every major city in France. Let this be a warning sign for the rest of the West: Hundreds of years of work and preservation gone in one day.
