Macron Hit with Criticism for Attending Celine Dion Concert Before Violent Riots Broke Out
- On Friday evening, President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte attended a sold-out concert in Nanterre, west of Paris, while violent protests disrupted the nation.
- The appearance sparked 'Macron Antoinette' comparisons on social media, fueling anger amid month-long unrest that began with teachers protesting disrepair at French lycées, three-quarters of which are over 50 years old.
- Teenagers marching across the country worry about future job prospects and housing, while France faces ballooning national debt and now borrows at higher rates than Italy.
- Marine Le Pen projected authority in a national address, while Macron later promised an online platform for grievances, which critics suggested showed he hadn't really been listening.
- Interior ministers have restrained police action since the 1986 death of student Malik Oussekine, fearing fatalities could trigger race riots like the three weeks of unrest under President Chirac in 2005.
