So far all the protesters in France achieved is a bump in the polls for Le Pen. Yay!

    Litterally no poll was done from data after this event yet.

    This "event"? The protests have been going on for couple of weeks now. Here's one poll done after some schools were burned. You can see a bump for Le Pen. It will be even bigger bump in the next polls.

    Ifop is also called opif here, which basically means random.

    Anyway far right is always way overestimated in France. When election come they go down 15%. Lookup 2022 presidency. The far left is also heavily underestimated. Center is inflated too vs real results (France dems kinda)

    This time over, the far left is much higher. Whatever the poll says, Le Pen might very well not even make it past the 1st round

    Ok, so there are recent poll, just not the ones you like? Also, I'm not talking about how accurate the polls are overall, just that Le Pen advantage grew after the protests and that it will probably keep growing as the protests get more violent.

    You brought out polls that are irrelevant to this week end protest.

    You look like a happy fascist by the way. Enjoy because it's not gonna last.

    Where does it say that this post is specifically about this weekend protests and not protests from previous weeks or even older ones? Nowhere, you invented this because you don't have other arguments.

    You look like a happy fascist by the way.

    You also invented that I'm happy about Le Pen potential win. You basically just imagine things and think those are somehow valid arguments.

    I think what you meant is that all the french government achieved so far is a bump in the polls for le pen. Again.

    If you put all the blame for the violence on the government than yes.

    They're the ones in charge of preventing it, both at a societal level and more directly during the protests. It's entirely their fault if they would rather tear gas people playing music and peacefully marching and protect macron's wife family business.

    This week police also responded with force to teachers protests in Madrid and anti-right demonstrations in A Coruña but no one started looting stores and burning down public buildings. I think in Spain most people realize that escalating violence doesn't lead anywhere. Elections are close, it makes sense to organize, show dissatisfaction, rally voters. What does rioting achieve? Nothing. I really don't know why people on lemmy keep confusing violence with protesting.
