French Riots: A Gift for Marine Le Pen?

How much damage has the unrest in France caused to a protest movement rooted in genuine grievances but hijacked by rioters, violence, and vandalism? FRANCE 24 examines whether the turmoil is a gift to Marine Le Pen, the far-right leader and presidential frontrunner, or a spectre of trouble to come in a deeply polarized society. France 24's Gavin Lee speaks to French analyst Renaud Foucault and a senior professor of economics to weigh the political consequences of the riots. The discussion considers the increasingly poisonous political atmosphere and what the violence means for the broader protest movement. The segment explores the tension between legitimate grievances and the disorder that has overshadowed them, and how that dynamic could shape France's political future.
