After the riots and looting in many French cities, many traders are standing in front of ruin. "Every other store is blocked and you see owners trying to keep everything together," reports reporter Philippa Vögeding.
The merchants in France arrived at their premises after the violence and looting recorded in the midst of the massive protests of 17 October. A merchant who had just finished preparations to open a new store found it looted and, although he has insurance, it does not cover everything. Thousands of business owners face the same reality: 3,000 shops throughout France were vandalized or plundered. So far the total cost of the damage is not known.
After the weekend of 17 October, the cash pools launched by independent traders flourish in order to cope with the waiting times of the insurers.
On the Internet, some shopkeepers call for support after the ruin of their shop on October 17, when others, whose images have become viral despite them, are being offered thousands of euros by Internet users.
After the looting of this October 17, the My Presqu'île merchant association launched a solidarity pool to provide financial support to the affected establishments.
