 In recent weeks, we've seen massive protests across France in response to a piece of proposed legislation that would have granted extraordinary new powers to law enforcement while making it illegal for ordinary citizens to post videos of the police online. This legislation was at least in part a response to massive protests inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement which took place over the summer and denounced police violence in France. So while the law enforcement bill was the spark that lit this latest round of protest, it mixes together with ongoing unrest against police violence and against institutional racism, as well as against a government that many believe is increasingly catering to Islamophobic sentiments. We've seen this most recently in another proposed bill which would severely limit the ability of Muslim organizations to provide support to the 8% of France, which is Muslim, as well as comments from Macron's cabinet about the problems with halal aisles in grocery stores and the turning savage, the ensauvagement de la France. So while Macron aggressively defends Charlie Hebdo when it publishes pictures of the Prophet Muhammad and many would argue rightly defends this freedom of expression against Islamic extremists, he then tramples on these same freedoms when it comes to public oversight of police violence. And it's this hypocrisy that is driving much of the anger we see right now.
