@theeconomist: Hundreds of French students have been injured and thousands arrested in protests across the country. The Economist’s Paris bureau chief, Sophie Pedder, examines why both the leader of the hard-right party, Marine Le Pen, and of the hard-left, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, could benefit from the unrest.

Maybe it’s Not the Society which is divided, rather the leading class of politicians and the society.

A few clarifications from my french point of view : LFI is neither populist nor far-left; the movement is simply on the left. Conversely, Macron pursues a far-right policy (for instance, by granting the police the right to kill). We want a democracy. Such police repression does not exist in a properly functioning democracy.

Yeah because everyone is tired we’re not living we are surviving. Especially young people, we’re struggling to find jobs, studying, paying the bills at the end of the month, putting food on the table.
