The frech have a fucked up police state, being trailblazers when it comes to surveilance in the EU and somehow every second protest ends in a riot, but when it comes to their european foreign policy, they are really solid.
And of course french political discourse, just like most european political discourse, downplays far-right violence, while overstating left-wing political violence. Like when recently a far-right provocateur died after starting a fight at a left-wing protest, and somehow a leftist party in France has to answer for his death?
