Protests in France began with demands for improvements to the education system but have since broadened into a wider period of unrest. The escalation has included looting, barricades and episodes of violence. Several French cities have responded by imposing curfews, placing restrictions on movement during the disturbances. Eric Latorre, who directs a master’s program in government at the Autonomous University of Chile, examined the protest movement and its political effects in a La Tercera streaming program. He focused particularly on how the disorder may benefit the political right in France. The discussion also considered the pressure the unrest is placing on the government led by President Emmanuel Macron. Latorre’s full analysis was available in video form through La Tercera’s program.
