Accusations of institutional or systemic racism fall on deaf ears. In reality, the myth of the colorblind French Republic amounts to the state-level gaslighting of ethnic minorities, and the nation’s victims of systemic racism know it. In reality, the myth of the colorblind French Republic amounts to the state-level gaslighting of ethnic minorities, and the nation’s victims of systemic racism know it. To see those values undermined by a failure to investigate and address systemic racism, leaving so many of its citizens feeling unprotected, alienated, and unseen by the state is not only sad, it’s inexcusable. We may never know for certain whether Nahel’s race was a factor in his killing.

In 1995, weeks-long mass protests forced the government of the day to abandon plans to reform public sector pensions. For many in France, the pensions system, as with social support more generally, is viewed as the bedrock of the state’s responsibilities and relationship with its citizens.

That these pensions protests continue to hold such popular goodwill is an ominous sign for Macron’s future plans. The size and violence of pensions protests spiked when Macron forced the legislation past the country’s lower legislative house without a vote.

REUTERS/Gonzalo FuentesPARIS, March 18 (Reuters) - Refinery strikes persisted on Saturday in France and more demonstrations were taking place throughout the country amid anger at the government pushing through a rise in the state pension age without a parliamentary vote. A further rally was planned in Paris later on Saturday while BFM television showed images of demonstrations already taking place in cities such as Compiegne in the north, Nantes in the west and Saint-Etienne in central France. A broad alliance of France's main unions has said it would continue to mobilise to try to force a U-turn on the changes. Macron's overhaul raises the pension age by two years to 64, which the government says is essential to ensure the system does not go bust.

☆ Министр внутренних дел Франции раскритиковал обращение военных к властям

Министр внутренних дел Франции Жеральд Дарманен заявил, что не считает смелым поступок военных, поддержавших генералов в отставке, которые подписали письмо об угрозе распада страны. Министр-делегат по вопросам промышленности при министре экономики, финансов и восстановления страны Аньес Панье-Рюнаше назвала обращение политическим. В апреле Valeurs actuelles опубликовало письмо 20 генералов в отставке, которые обратились к президенту Эммануэлю Макрону с призывом "защитить патриотизм". По их мнению, Франции грозит распад: исламисты устанавливают свои порядки в разных частях страны и фактически уже началась расовая война. Глава Минобороны Франции Флоранс Парли называла это обращение безответственным, а начальник штаба Вооруженных сил Франсуа Лекуантр заявил, что подписавшие его предстанут перед военным советом и могут быть отстранены от службы.
