Dr. Guy Millière, a professor at the University of Paris, has given his take on the chaos in France. He notes that since the 1970s France has taken in massive numbers of Muslims, many of whom have not assimilated into French society, and indeed, stand opposed to it, as the present riots show. “The riots grew bigger. Schools and theaters were destroyed.... churches were burned to the ground; graffiti in red paint on a church in Marseilles declared: "Mohammed was the last prophet". Bank branches were ransacked and ATMs opened with chainsaws. Slogans were shouted: "death to the police", "death to France.”
The Left had presented the framework for the undermining of France, and the riots have put that ideology into p[ractice. "The violence is increasing day by day... those who run our country must imperatively find the courage necessary to eradicate the dangers." — Open letter by 20 retired French army generals to the French government and Macron, April 26, 2023. “On June 30, in a lengthy interview, Zemmour described the situation as the "precursor symptom of a civil war", stressed that "civil war is almost here" and that it may well destroy the country. What is happening, he said, is "an ethnic uprising" resulting from "crazy immigration.... Macron has abandoned the police and chosen submission". At present, Zemmour concluded, it would take "ferocious, firm and ruthless repression" to restore calm, but "there is no one among those in power ready to act in a determined way and make the necessary decisions."
