#WolffBites: Macron, "boss" of France's political "center," (1) tries police/army repression of protests, (2) panders to the right by blaming immigrants, and (3) keeps neglecting schools (the protests' cause). Trump urges/applauds repression in France, of course. theguardian.com/world/2026/o…

#WolffBites: Investors in French gov't bonds see rising risks of French leaders' refusal to honor their gov't debts. So they demand higher interest rates. Same is happening elsewhere in Europe and in US. Crisis spreads.

#WolffBites: French protests against cuts in public services spread to Portugal and Italy, as earlier to Belgium. Italy's gov't learns nothing, hits protesters with police, solving nothing, provoking more protests. theguardian.com/world/2026/o…
