As thousands of French businesses grapple with the fallout from recent riots, French senators are debating a new bill aimed at making not only the perpetrators …

Being destructive is not exercising a right to peaceful protest. It is without doubt, domestic terrorism, and those guilty perpetrating. It should pay the price, and the price proposed is rather modest, considering the centuries of historic cultural and material loss that has been perpetrated upon the French. People as a whole.
They are all on welfare so 1 euro a month?
Good gods, we’re not even pretending that news isn’t opinions now. Matey on video, I happen to agree with you but just report the news, nobody needs your opinion on any news item, keep that for home life not work life! I am a little concerned about making people that are near protesters pay if they haven’t damaged anything, that seems like a poisoned chalice amendment to get the bill to fail looking in from outside but who knows, France does France in its own very unique way.
How do I know France is doomed? When common sense is reported as “controversial “ by the media. You will forever be poor.
It's collective punishment if tax payers have to pay.
Property damage <> violence. France will be sorry if they escalate.
if a person does not own assets they will fall behind. Many today want to rent so they have moving flexibility. During the 2009 economic collapse, many owning homes could not relocate to get job easily because they could not sell home. Many just do not want the responsibility of owning a home. Many today are not forming families and thus feel they have no need to buy a home which is often for most the biggest asset they will ever own. Also many big cities have tight building restrictions and thus demand exceeds supply. Also many young people do not trust markets seeing them as having much volatility where money can be lost. So many on the sidelines which puts them in the poor house.
Why not just make it illegal to cover faces during protest.
The French have broken our UK Borders, but it's the UK that are paying for it !!
They rather go to prison instead of paying $$$ than the state will have to pay them to keep them alive 😂😂😂😂
Well, I definitely support the direct compensation part of the bill, and the ability to seize social benefits to pay the bill. In principle, I support the joint financial liability provision, but I also share the same concerns that this can be misused by the state to punish peaceful protesters whose protests get hijacked by violent thugs. <br><br>I also don't like the idea of people being on the hook simply because they failed to heed disperse orders. For example, should people engaged in sit-ins be responsible for thugs down the block? <br><br>I'd much rather see the joint liability be tied to any violent actions (including property damage) of the individual or the individual organizing such actions.
Right called!! All nation should have those laws. Ppl have right to protest, but NO ONE has the right to use that as opportunity to destroying public or other ppl's properties! there shouldnt be limit to compersation, a fine should have high limit like 10k! and collective liability is very important, no parent or group can say "its not us but them", one of you done crime, you all should pay, so public(tax) shouldnt be use to pay for those damages.
Collective liability should be first presented to politicians doing financial crimes. François Fillon convicted of fraud and embezzlement, Marine Le Pen and other members of the National Rally convicted of embezzling, Cahuzac affair, Bettencourt affair, Karachi affair… what is few shops looted when politicians steal millions from the people for years.
This has nothing to do with restitution, it's a protest deterrent. If it was truly about restitution, then only those found to actually be looting and rioting would be billed, but they said anyone essentially found in the same vicinity would be billed.
It’s a pretty mild demand, considering historical precedents.
How exactly will you identify thousands of masked rioters 😒 sounds nice but is it practical
Useless bill. It will never be enacted and the judges will not uphold any convictions. This is just a show by macron.
The problem is the enforcement by politicians and law enforcement
And they keep talking about not repeating history... Who wants to implement collective punishment now?
There is already a “You broke it, you pay for it” law. <br>You seem to be asking for “If you’re on the street in the same neighborhood, you pay.” <br>I say “No“ to guilt by association.
The wealthy lobbyists have got their way, and the poor that are being eaten alive by the wealthy are being more oppressed. Yes, looting is no good but the Government needs to address wealth inequality - just as every country does right now.
Is it Democracy allow to steal and loot?
No need to debate. These rules should be implemented asap
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY<br>Rioters can't get a free pass
