The yellow vests are in Paris. And the French capital becomes the scene of one of the most violent protests and symbolic of recent years. The Deep France has arrived in the streets of the great French metropolis. A world in revolt, a France light years away from that of the magnificent and progressive fortunes that Emmanuel Macron would like to represent. It is an impoverished country, worried by an economic crisis that seems to have no end, tired of an increasingly distant president incapable of understanding the needs of real France. This France, already hit the streets across the country in the past week, continues his protest. And now he is besieging Macron.
The government's appeals to remain calm were not enough. The march of the yellow vests towards the large Paris demonstration was peppered with fierce criticism, in contro in, but above all by the will of the French government, represented by the Minister of the Interior Christophe Castaner the prime minister gave it Édouard Philippe, to go straight. Paris does not bow to the protesters: that was the message sent from the palaces of power. And now the protest has directly hit the heart of the country, Paris, con 81thousand demonstrators which still paralyze parts of the country and thousands who instead stormed the center of the capital.


Today's violence, with the barricades on the Champs-Elysées set on fire, clashes with the police and lightening charges, However, they are only a symbol. This violence that resurfaces is just the tip of the iceberg of an extremely deeper and more rooted problem.
France is seething. There is a growing magma chamber of discontent and social tension, everyday, and which every now and then explodes, paralyzing the country or setting fire to some cities or neighborhoods. Violence is taking root and radicalizing. And there are entire sectors of the French population who are starting to feel excluded and obliged to make their voices heard.
Last year, the former Interior Minister Gérard Collomb talked about a country at high risk of civil war due to the uncontrolled management of immigration. But immigration is only one of the very serious systemic problems facing France. The suburbs are laboratories of violence, radicalism and social exclusion. It's not just the spread of Islamic extremism that worries intelligence: it is extremism in all its forms that is particularly dangerous and widespread. The suburbs, the suburbs, in many cases they are real free ports of organized crime, but also areas in which the State is completely absent. Violence is endemic and erupts more and more often and in an increasingly blatant manner.
But to rebel, these days, it's not just the France of the suburbs. It's all that France that feels like the suburbs. The yellow vests do not represent a party, they are that profound country that is strongly reluctant to accept Macronian policies. There is a rural reality, industrial, of the province, which is not considered central to the Elysée's agenda. Work is scarce, there is a strong protectionist sentiment that does not accept the European rules that Macron believes in blindly. And it is here that the movements that rebel against this political reality that is so difficult to accept advance. And this is also why the protest has taken on transversal characteristics, from the sovereignist right to the radical left.
Castaner accused the protesters who stormed Paris of being incited by Marine Le Pen. But it is an accusation that also demonstrates a sense of encirclement on the part of the government which hopes to find a media and political way out by shifting attention to the threat of political and fundamentally right-wing violence..
But to better understand the social platform on which the yellow vest protest was established, just read not Le Pen's comments, who obviously rejected the minister's statements to the sender, but the words of a right-wing rival: Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The leader of the radical left has in fact expressed his opposition to Castaner's words, saying that it is a demonstration of "the people" and not of the far right.

And the summit of France Insoumise he wrote on Twitter: “Minister Castaner would like the yellow vest demonstration to be far-right. The truth is that it is a massive demonstration of the people. And that is the end for Castaner”. An assist to Le Pen from the left? No, absolutely. It's something different: it is proof that what is boiling in France is a widespread and transversal discontent of which all parties and movements external to the system of power feel similar. It is anti-Macron France. And it doesn't seem like it, at least for now, intend to give up.
