I didn't mean just strikes, I said "massive strikes"! :P
Burned vehicles, a few hands lost to a police grenade, maybe a death or two.
Sure it's a low hanging fruit, but the French executive power has been bypassing parliament with 49.3 rulings for the past year to get unpopular laws and welfare undoings through. Something's gotta break.
Let's not call stuff like burned vehicles and violence "strikes", it's rioting which can be caused by the same issues that lead to strikes but strikes themselves are non violent and the concept doesn't deserve to be tarred with the same brush making it seem like "massive strikes" automatically equate to violence.
I doubt it, Russia can't fund or organise it like they did back then.
Interestingly, they used 49.3 mostly to pass the budget, and they're now slightly more limited in how much they can use it for "regular" laws.
And even if they did not have to bypass parliament, there would be strike (source : the last 50 years or so ?)
