Las manifestaciones de hoy en Francia han acabado con escenas de gran violencia protagonizadas por seguidores de la izquierda radical. Juzguen ustedes mismos.
Tonight, France burned. America, you should be watching very carefully. Today, October 17, 2026, more than half a million people marched across France against the cost of living. By 8pm, around 400 had been arrested. In Paris, police turned water cannons on the crowds at Place de la République, and one march was stopped 150 meters from the Élysée Palace. Of the 195 people arrested in the capital by the afternoon, only one actually lived in Paris. Mobs forced their way into the city halls of Marseille and Lille. In Lyon, a tourism office was set on fire. In Rennes, barricades burned. Near Limoges, a highway was blocked and police cars were torched. And then came Limoges. A crowd of very young people stormed the city hall, a protected historic monument built in the 1880s. They flipped police cars in front of it and set them ablaze, then set the building itself on fire. The flames took the roof, the wedding hall, and the civil registry, the office that records every birth, every marriage, every death in the city. Tonight, the bell tower that has crowned Limoges for nearly 150 years collapsed. The mayor’s response: "It’s a monument that is burning, not the Republic." That is the problem in one sentence. Our leaders still think words can put out fires. None of this came out of nowhere. For twenty years, the French political class has excused everything. Every riot was "anger." Every burned car was a "social symptom." Every attack on police was "a reaction to provocation." And the hard left, La France Insoumise, which officially backed today’s mobilization, built its electoral machine on an alliance with political Islamism: refusing to condemn, refusing to name, trading secularism and public order for votes. In France we have a word for it. Islamo-gauchisme. Islamo-leftism. Tonight you saw where that culture of excuse ends. A country where a mob can burn down a town hall, and the state arrives after the roof has already fallen in. My dear American friends, I say this with love, as someone who has lived among you and owes you a great deal: your midterms are on November 3rd. And the same alliance is growing inside your Democratic Party. The same far-left wing that treats disorder as protest and police as the enemy. The same activists who refuse to draw a line between legitimate dissent and those who openly despise the West. The same politicians who think tolerance means tolerating everything, including the people who want to burn it down. It always starts with excuses. Then comes impunity. Then come the flames. Same causes, same effects. If you create the conditions we created, you will get exactly what we got tonight. France was the country of the Enlightenment, of cathedrals and town halls that stood for centuries. Tonight, one of them collapsed live on social media while the government called for calm. My dear American friends, the only advantage you have over us is that you’ve been warned. Vote like your city hall depends on it. Because one day, it will. https://t.co/R1PRD4kJS4

Francia roza el Estado fallido. Esto es Marsella hace un rato. Miradlo hasta el final. Furgones policiales incapaces de frenar o enfrentarse a miles de manifestantes que los rodean. Explícales a estos que su país está al borde de la quiebra por aquello mismo que piden. #17octobre #zonedeguerre

Francia vive una jornada de CAOS que ha derivado en disturbios, saqueos y enfrentamientos con la policía en varias ciudades. Las movilizaciones reúnen distintos focos de descontento para utilizarlos como excusa para desestabilizar el país: las protestas estudiantiles iniciadas semanas atrás por las malas condiciones y falta de recursos en los institutos, las reivindicaciones sindicales y una nueva movilización contra el aumento del coste de la vida y del combustible, con intentos de reactivar el movimiento de los chalecos amarillos. Se habían convocado centenares de concentraciones en todo el país. Antes incluso de comenzar las principales marchas ya se produjeron incidentes en París, Marsella y Lyon. Los violentos levantaron barricadas, prendieron hogueras, y bloquearon calles con contenedores y vehículos. En París, alrededor de un centenar de personas bloquearon la sede del canal CNews. Las fuerzas antidisturbios emplearon gases lacrimógenos para dispersar a la turba. El ayuntamiento de Limoges está en llamas. La situación fue escalando durante el día. La policía realizó cientos de detenciones. Una información posterior situaba la cifra en 272 arrestados a media tarde. Los daños materiales aún no pueden calcularse. El contexto es importante: los disturbios llevaban ya varias semanas escalando y habían sido especialmente conflictivos. Entre el 28 de septiembre y el 8 de octubre, el Ministerio de Justicia francés contabilizó 6.877 personas bajo custodia policial, el 86 % menores. REPITO: EL 86% POR CIENTO DE LOS VIOLENTOS SON MENORES. https://t.co/dsnpe0IsJg

Comienza la toma islámica de Francia. Los musulmanes y africanos asaltan el ayuntamiento de Marsella. Se terminó el multiculturalismo y la tolerancia, comienza la insurrección y la toma de poder. https://t.co/R43NSeGIyG

France is burning today, and it’s not an accident. Saturday, October seventeenth. One hundred forty protests. Thirty three thousand people in the streets outside Paris alone. By nightfall, over two hundred seventy arrests. In Marseille, protesters stormed the town hall, overturned a bust, smashed furniture, spray painted an A for anarchy on the wall. In Lyon, a tourism office went up in flames. In Lille, they broke into the mayor’s office. In Paris, cars burned at Place de la République while masked figures threw fireworks and paving stones at riot police. The French Interior Ministry didn’t mince words. They called it targeted acts of violence by hooded individuals, and said the movement is marked by a very strong mobilization of far-left elements whose sole intent is to incite disorder. Here’s what they don’t lead with. This didn’t start as a cost of living protest. It started as a high school revolt in Seine Saint Denis, and within weeks it was flying Palestinian flags, hammer and sickle banners, and Antifa symbols. Greta Thunberg showed up wearing a keffiyeh. A leaked intelligence report described it as an operation organized by La France Insoumise, Mélenchon’s party. A Fox News investigation counted fifty organizations in the movement’s orbit. Only fifteen were student groups. The rest were unions, communist organizations, and Palestinian advocacy groups. Prime Minister Lecornu said it plainly. Members of France Insoumise are instrumentalizing the high school movement for their electoral advantage. Over six thousand six hundred arrests since September, mostly teenagers. Seven hundred fifteen police injured. Two hundred fifteen students hurt. A fourteen year old’s jaw shattered by a tear gas grenade. A fifteen-year-old lost a hand. And the timing? France votes in April twenty twenty-seven. Marine

L’office de tourisme de Lyon incendié, la mairie de Marseille saccagée et Marianne mise à terre, des voitures en feu et des rues de Paris ravagées… Seule la force permettra d’enrayer ce chaos. Notre démocratie est en danger. La peur doit changer de camp https://t.co/EK9X0iLudA

🚨 JUST IN: Former NYPD Paul Mauro says ISLAMISM and LEFTISTS are wreaking havoc in France and will result in the ELECTION of right-wing Marine Le Pen He’s right. "Le Pen is favored…this is the red-green alliance…hyper-progressive and Islamism, married to each other as a revolutionary movement. The avatars of that in this country are Abdul El Sayed and Ilhan Omar!" 💯 "You’re watching the disintegration of the EU, the open border policies!" "Otherwise, THEY’RE NOT GONNA HAVE A COUNTRY…the progressives are the useful IDIOTS here." Ifop’s newest poll has Le Pen at 32% in the first round, a 16-point lead over the far-left’s Mélenchon Across every scenario Ifop tested, she pulls 31% to 36% and leads by 11 to 19 points The left tried to end her career in court and FAILED. France has six months to save itself! 🇫🇷
