The riots in France over proposed labor law reforms showed a deep unease throughout the country. On PBS's NewsHour, The Globalist's Stephan Richter discussed the significance of these continued protests — and why France's leaders can ill afford to keep wavering on economic reforms.
Revolutionary traditions, 1789, 1848, 1968. It's part of the French identity that you sometimes need to be on the barricades, as we see today. It's also, unfortunately, a feeling that the French have a sense of that they're a little bit better than the rest of us, never mind the Americans.
