France sees 550,000 protest rising costs as Limoges town hall burns
The Bloomberg segment features correspondent Gaspard Sebag in Paris describing overnight violence from nationwide protests that began as student actions over school conditions and evolved into broader demonstrations against rising living costs. He details burning of Limoges town hall, a Lyon building fire, shop looting by masked individuals, and notes over 500,000 peaceful marchers before fringe violence escalated. The discussion covers the government's law-and-order response, Macron's planned national address, an outgoing administration facing a major fiscal crisis with limited spending room, and emerging 2027 presidential race dynamics including social media exchanges involving Marine Le Pen.
