    I’m amazed that “chaos” there in France is more like “normal”. I remember some riots that happened couple of years ago and one commenter said France might verge into collapsing. I thought to myself that those who think that are not aware how France works, and rioting is a tradition since the French Revolution.

      riots may happen in france, but for what is mention in the post, there is absolutely no riot, no chaos or anything else. It’s just a political event without consequence.

        I know. But I mean any political mess in France, riots or not, is seen as severe by outsiders but aren’t aware how things work in France.

        However, I admit that the situation in Mayotte is in a completely different context and unprecedented for overseas French territory.

      Literally every time I’ve been to France there has been a riot. Edit: actually that’s not true, one of the times I was there it was only a riot watch, they were waiting for sentencing in some trial of righty separatists.
