To Alemanno, French protests have not been treated in the media "with due care", beliving that the public authority was "not able to handle, prevent, or mitigate disaster".

France and other European cities have been embroiled in a series of protests, with causes ranging from cost-of-living to rent or the appropriate funding of public school systems.
