The protests have been ongoing for around a month now and the police force is tiring out—and they aren’t getting paid for it. Police in France have racked up a massive 23 million hours of overtime as they work protests and not a single one of them have been paid for it.
The Interior Minister, Christophe Castaner claims that paying the officers what they are owed will “take time” and finding the money isn’t easy.
However, the police do not appear to be buying into the rhetoric and a “blue vest” protest now appears to be imminent.
When the enforcement arm of the state—the police—refuse to obey their masters, and instead join the citizens they once oppressed, a revolution is at hand. The irony of police revolting after not being paid to act as the enforcement arm of the state—to quell dissent among the citizens—is golden, and hopefully it leads to a “blue” revolution in which police go back to protecting the people, instead of their masters.
Once the union realized that their officers were not being paid the money they were owed, the Alliance Union called on officers across France to only handle emergencies only as they negotiated with the interior ministry over their compensation. On Wednesday, activists called on police to cross the line and join them. Police did not rule this option out and they went so far as to threaten the French government with doing just that.

This makes me chuckle. I expected this. You can't tell me anyone didn't see this coming. Imagine how their military will react when they find out that they too will have to wait because it takes time to find the money.

Marconi is the French equivalent of Trump. By the elite, for the elite. 100% for the wealthy.
Our social situations are more similar than not, as well. It is also the reason we don't hear much about the riots in France in our news as our own people would get ideas how to deal with elitist autocrats. Mum's the word when it comes to news from France.

Not by a longshot.
Macron caters to globalists and "migrants" , wants more and more taxes and doesn't put his country first.
Trump is the opposite.
Your libelous false comparison is an utter failure.
Nice try though comrade.
and later became an investment banker at Rothschild & Cie Banque.....
After being a member of the Socialist Party from 2006 to 2009, Macron ran in the election under the banner of a centrist political movement he founded in April 2016, En Marche!.

Who wants to start betting on when the Second French Revolutionary War starts?
First Mitterand with the Karachi Scandal, then Sarkozy and Gaddafi, and now this. Wow, France (Paris)... just wow...
