Does anyone share this sensation that we may be seeing the end of Pax Covid? Or should we call it Covid Truce? Where with the onset of the pandemic lockdowns were imposed, a US Aircraft Carrier was pulled from the line and headed to shore after its Captain was spooked by covid outbreaks on board, cruise ships grounded, travels slowed down to a trickle.... Combattants in trenches around the world appeared to calm down and guns fell silent. Even Jihadists appeared to observe a drop in activity as they observed their own lockdowns. Even Putin left wayward bride Ukraine alone until his labs produced Sputnik V. Armed with Sputnik V the Suitor Putin, who will not take no for an answer, proceeded with tanks, planes, canon, destroyers to woo Lady Ukraine. It will be an understatement to state that Lady Ukraine was thoroughly alarmed at the approach of the Suitor from the East.

But masks are beginning to come off, and Paris was hit today by rioters marking Labour Day. And with it more headache for Macron.

A few days ago it was rumblings from the right from ex Generals of the Algerian cut. As if it was not disturbing enough that malignant strains of the Putchist Generals of the 1961 rebellion still lurk in Metropolitan France, again, as in 1961, it seems to have been hatched in the Legion. The French Foreign Legion! The Legion in 1961 was up to its neck in the Putch. Specifically Helie de St Marc's 1st REP; at the time France's Premier Military outfit by some accounts. France's enfant cheri spear heading a putch? An aghast General de Gaulle disbanded the formation. But it appears the virus was dormant, not dead. The rumblings yesterday from the Generals was led by a Legionnaire General; General de Corps d'Armee Christian Piquemal, ex Commandant of the Legion. The Legion again!

But I digress. Ruffians descended on Paris' streets today to cause more headache for Macron. Macron has a wife whose hands will be full calming the beleagured Chef d'Etat. That wife is another very long story that will thrill all soap opera lovers.





May Day riots: Paris protesters tear-gassed as they attack police with missiles



Protesters pelted police with missiles and were sprayed with tear gas by riot officers as May Day marches in France descended into violence.

In Paris, at least 34 people were arrested amid running battles in the streets of the French capital before the delayed march, attended by about 25,000 demonstrators, had even started on Saturday.

Local officials in Lyon said 27 police officers were injured during violence there.

Footage showed protesters launching glass bottles and other objects at officers clad in riot gear, including helmets and gas masks, and one spraying baton-wielding officers with a police tear gas cannister he had somehow obtained.

In other videos, a police officer is floored from behind and helped by colleagues as he lay injured on a pavement, and protesters are sprayed with tear gas during clashes.

Remember, Macron was a compromise, more of the status quo.

(The Left parties were basically forced to go with him to fend off Marie Le Pen)

When Macron is gone it's very likely you will see French politics polarize into opposite extremist camps.


Most everyone agrees that they don't like the status quo, but agreeing on what it should be is a much harder matter.


I strongly predict even if the French Right were to become completely irrelevant, you would still see riots. There are growing poverty levels and decreased average standards of living.
(Even right now the Right isn't having much influence at all on the government, so who are these protesters really rioting against? The moderate neoliberals? Reality?)
