This is happening in France: The school riot has become a national crisis
- Following riots on Saturday, President Emmanuel Macron faces a deepening political crisis as far-right and far-left contenders aggressively maneuver to succeed him in next year's presidential election.
- Weeks of youth protests over education underfunding and generalized anger regarding high cost of living pushed Macron's popularity to its lowest levels since taking office in 2017.
- National Rally leader Marine Le Pen asserted on Wednesday that the government has "lost its grip," while authorities blamed "far-left radicals" and opportunistic criminals for the violence.
- Pollster Frédéric Dabi said Le Pen is "the only candidate to capitalize on this event," making it difficult to imagine her failing to reach the runoff in April.
- The Fifth Republic faces significant institutional challenges as the country prepares for a post-Macron era, with the potential collapse of established political norms reshaping France's democratic future.
