For several days at the end of June and the beginning of July, France was once again in a state of complete chaos. Protests, looting, fire and riots broke out in France's main cities, and the whole world was gripped by them.

Of course, these images have ceased to be something extraordinary in the French Republic. Events and images, more or less similar, are repeated every so often and with increasing intensity. It doesn't matter if we are talking about racial or religious vindication and protests, the final of the soccer "Champions League", the yellow vests or the pension reforms. Violence is beginning to be a distinctive sign of any social movement in this country.

For example, the latest wave of riots triggered by the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk by a policeman resulted in more than 5,000 vehicles burned, more than 1,000 properties damaged or looted, 269 police stations attacked and more than 4,000 people arrested. It was madness.

But what on earth is going on in France, why does society seem broken, what is behind these huge waves of violence, and what are the consequences? In this video we tell you about the three major factors in the waves of violence that every now and then shake France.
