Five points on the margins of recent events in France; Unheard voices! In recent weeks, the streets of France have been the scene of an angry and protesting generation; A generation whose opposition to the conditions of education soon gained wider dimensions and challenged the existing political and social order. The mass demonstrations of October 17, with the presence of students, marginalized youth, workers and families, indicated the formation of a new convergence between social forces with different backgrounds and demands. In response to this uprising, the government resorted to police repression and highlighted images of looting and destruction. But behind these images, what forces came to light and what role did the experiences of poverty, discrimination and exclusion play in their anger and protest methods? To understand what is happening in France, the police violence, the class and racial disparities, the role of the media and the widespread political, economic and social crisis must be examined together. In this comment, Omid Beharang deals, by criticizing reductionist narratives and examining government tactics and the limitations of parliamentary responses, in the capabilities, contradictions and prospects of a movement that may exceed its initial demands and have a decisive impact on France's political future.
