So france is full of rioters and protesters and people wrecking shit. There is very little imperialist news mention of this, like almost zero.
heres an example one of the few mentions I could find in the liberal press (I wouldnt even bother reading):
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/apr/08/nuit-debout-protesters-occupy-french-cities-in-a-revolutionary-call-for-change
as usual RT got the good shit (reletavly speaking): https://www.rt.com/news/339035-paris-protest-labor-gas/
Look forward to a summer of violence
watch it here (riot aesthetic proclick):
TRIGGER WARNING: ANARCHISM (but its better than watching the fascist news + more informative and with better music)
http://www.submedia.tv/stimulator/2016/04/04/paris-is-burning/
seriously, stimulator (and submedia) is usually good once you get over the fact that we're going to have to send them all to the gulag

i didn't read the links yet, i just did some frenchy googling. a new labour law (the "El Khomri law") is what's started this up
this lse capitalist guy summarizes it (in english):
"The new law, which carries the name of the Minister of Labour Myriam El Khomri, it is true, aims to introduce some measures that attack symbolic and real holy cows on the Left – viz. a rather dramatic expansion of what constitutes a ‘normal’ working week to 46 hours (but with rather generous compensation arrangements from the 36th hour onwards); a financial ceiling for unjust dismissal; and a redefinition of what unions are allowed to do in the case of disagreements and strikes." "As usual the law was introduced without much debate with trade unions that represent those affected. In case things don’t work out via the standard channels, the government has even made it clear that it might enforce the law without a vote – as if it were dealing with a state of emergency."

I dunno, L'Humanité is probably ok for a source. I translated some of Libération's liveblog for today but it's mostly just there were protests, tear gassing, flashbangs, the CRS (Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité, Republican Companies of Security, French specialist anti-riot shock troops) is out everywhere and kettling and don't let anyone leave until they remove all "political signs" from their person. usual stuff. good stuff.
Though the numbers are pretty impressive. Here's the main short summary story on L'Humanité.
http://www.humanite.fr/200-manifestations-ce-samedi-pour-le-retrait-la-loi-travail-604202
200 Protests this Saturday for the Withdrawal of the "Work" Law
Tens of thousands of people assembled in at least 200 protests this Saturday in France to secure the withdrawal of the bill reforming the Work Code. The federation of unions (CGT, FO, FSU, Solidaires, UNEF, UNL, and FIDL) have already planned futher action for April 28th.
After the rallies of March 31, Saturday's marches brought together nearly 200,000 people for the withdrawal of the El Khomri bill throughout the entire country (120,000 people according to the Ministry of the Interior): 110,000 people marched in Paris; 4,000 in Rennes, including many youths; in Toulouse, there were 12000; 8,000 in Grenoble; 8,000 in Lyon; 10,000 in Bordeaux; 45,000 in Marseilles.
Clashes also pitted protestors against law enforcement Saturday in Nantes, on the occasion of a new mobilization against the work law which assembled, in a very tense atmosphere, 2,600 people according to the prefecture, 15,000 according to CGT (a major union -drw), in the course of which journalists were attacked.
For the CGT, "this new day of mobilization, the first Saturday, since the beginning of the battle for the withdrawal of the work bill, finds itself right in the middle of school vacations. Nevertheless, the number of protests – counting more than 200 – show that determination has not weakened. This Saturday April 9 will let thousands of citizens and workers, who haven't been able to yet mobilize, to join a movement for the withdrawal of the law and for a work code for the 21st century. No doubt the next day of national action and general strike, April 28, will be a new, strong time."
On the margins of protests, violent incidents erupted when groups of masked persons approached law enforcement forces in Rennes, Nantes, and especially Paris.
"I say solemnly to the government: start thinking hard," declared Jean-Claude Mailly, Secretary-General of FO, on France Info. (the equivalent of BBC Radio 1 -drw) "We're in this for the long run."
The National Secretary of the French Communist Party, Pierre Laurent, warned the government in Le Parisien Saturday, urging them to give up the bill. "Before it's too late for them, the government should listen well to what's being said on the streets," he said.
The Social Affairs Commitee of the National Assembly has modified the bill to try and placate the opposition–both unions and small and medium businesses.
But the opponents continue to demand the withdrawal of the bill and the "Nuit Debout" (uh... "Woke Night"? -drw) is spreading beyond the Place de la Republique in Paris, where it's been since March 31st, to the large cities in the provinces.
After consultations Wednesday between the youth organizations and the Ministries of Work, of Education and of Youth, the government is preparing propositions which should be unveiled Monday by Manuel Valls at a new meeting, this time in Matignon.

PARIS – In a country with the industrial proletariat which supposedly could’ve saved the Soviet Union from “Stalinism”, where apparently 10% of the country votes for Trotskyists in presidential elections, and labour politics causing large-scale clashes with the police in the streets, Trotskyists will still somehow fail to accomplish one fucking revolution in France, a country with a relatively positive attitude towards the concept of “revolution” in the first place, sources close to Worker’s Spatula report.
“To be fair,” explained our comrade “Saïd”, a student activist and professional cynic, “nobody’s really accomplished any revolutions in a while now. But these are pretty much the only conditions the Trotskyists could ever hope to leverage into victory, so if they fuck this up…”
“Well… nothing I guess. They’re going to fuck this up too, and then they’re going to blame each other, and ‘Stalinism’, of course. And then who’s gonna save us? The OCML-PV?”
“Fuck France”, he concluded.
