Yesterday, anger rumbled in France.
After Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne announced the use of 49-3 to push through the pension reform, many people gathered in the streets of several cities in France to demonstrate.
Scenes of chaos could be observed, as in Dijon, where mannequins bearing the effigy of the president and members of governments were burned in the public square:

Then a woman, also in the colors of the CGT, lights the flame.
The prefect of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté announced on Twitter to file a complaint on behalf of the State:
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin reacted this Friday morning on RTL:
“The opposition is legitimate, the demonstrations are legitimate (…) the brothel or the brothelisation of violence, no.

This is not the first time models have been burned in the street.
During a demonstration at the time of the "yellow vests" protest movement, on December 21, 2018, 90 people staged a mock trial of Macron, during which the model was burned and then beheaded.
Three individuals had been prosecuted for "contempt of a person holding public authority" and "
unprovoked provocation to commit a crime
".
A dismissal was finally pronounced by the Angoulême court on December 27, 2020 in favor of the three yellow vests.
