January 1, Macron Flees France as Riots Rage

Wyatt’s Take

• President Macron left France in chaos to visit Kuwait while riots rage at home.
• Working families watch their streets burn while leaders tour foreign capitals.
• The pattern of elites abandoning their people repeats again.

French President Emmanuel Macron touched down in Kuwait on Monday morning to begin a three-day tour of the Gulf, thus fleeing a country being torn apart by riots and civil unrest.

The timing raised eyebrows across France as images of burning cars and smashed storefronts filled the evening news.

Local police reported fresh clashes in Paris suburbs overnight with several officers injured.

Small business owners in the affected areas say they cannot afford another round of destruction after last year’s unrest.

Many voters wonder why their president chose this moment to leave the country instead of staying to restore order.
