You're Belgian (or you just live in Belgium), and I'm French, who do you think is more qualified on the matter ? I've lived in the banlieue parisienne all my life ffs and was in Sarcelles (iykyk) several times at the very moment the riots happened so no the country was NOT on fire lol.
Once again the riots were very concentrated in a very low number of communes. Those are facts, not what the TV had you believe.
Yes the country was in a state of emergency the same way it has been since the Bataclan terrorist attacks. The state of emergency in France just means that the government has more power when it comes to law enforcement (can make the army intervene on domestic matters, can restrict more liberties etc). You literally don't know what you're talking about.
And there are plenty of African and Arab names in the corporate world wtf. All my life, I've had Arab and African colleagues, like are you even in the corporate world in France to assert those takes ? As I say, go to any trade fair, any corporate/entrepreneur events and just look at the people
Music, sports and drug dealing being the only possibilities for Black and Arab people in France lololol. I swear
