Steve LazenbyHOST
Well, you know, when in France...
Jonas MarvinHOST
And it was like, I was looking into the demonstrations at the origin story, and they begin in France's colonial territories, specifically a place called Mayotte.
Jonas MarvinHOST
And they kind of spread through the Antilles and into the imperial core through kind of Parisian suburbs, basically, places like Saint-Denis.
Jonas MarvinHOST
So you can see the way in which demonstrations that take place in France's colonial territories are travel through these chains of migration into demonstrations that take place in the Parisian suburbs.
Jonas MarvinHOST
And the crowd itself, when I was there, and you obviously can see this from the pictures and videos online from the October 17th demonstrations, was really multicultural.

Clare DalyHOST
We're here on a sunny morning in Turin.
Clare DalyHOST
very happy to be joined by our man in Saint Denis.
Clare DalyHOST
Obviously, the protest movement which has gripped France has captured the world's headlines.
Clare DalyHOST
Obviously, a lot of media focus on rioting, the role of the police being quite shocking, but the level of engagement by French people is really, really impressive, and we're delighted to have Just before the protests here this morning on Saturday with us, Nicolas Jean from joining us from Paris.
Philippe LemoineGUEST
In this case, as far as I can tell, we don't really have anything even similar.
Philippe LemoineGUEST
But But then, you know, it did, you know, for a few days, it was very localized, mostly in the Paris region, Saint-Saint-Denis.
Philippe LemoineGUEST
I've read one article saying it started in another department near Paris, Val-de-Mont, but it's not clear to me that it's true.
Philippe LemoineGUEST
But anyway, it's like...
8 MINS LATER
Philippe LemoineGUEST
It's pretty, pretty weak, you know, like it's this kind of stuff.
Philippe LemoineGUEST
And like, yeah, it's very circumstantial.
Philippe LemoineGUEST
Also, you know, the note is only about Saint-Saint-Denis, which is where most of the early incident at high school started, which is a department near Paris where with like the heaviest immigrant presence in France, very poor, etc., And so it's just like we're talking about a node that's based on some random observation at a handful of schools.
Philippe LemoineGUEST
And in none of those cases, I think even for those schools, the evidence established that the thing was started by even the far left, but let alone LFE, which is a different thing.

Carys AfokoHOST
French Moroccan or French Algerian or from another part of France's former empire and living in Saint Denis, like a suburb of Paris, like the school you go to, your educational opportunities, your life opportunities are very different.
Carys AfokoHOST
And to see police like brutalizing young black and brown men and to see the mayor of that town kind of physically putting himself in between the police and those young people was very striking.
Carys AfokoHOST
And I have felt like the use of force against children has been pretty wild and like the other thing i've felt and that you know it's different now there are different sets of people out on the street there are so young people but it's not just young people but that sense of like these are children and you've got like air rifles and tear gas and like using such levels of force and i think that that i just think that can't be lost and it feels like it is being lost
