Why are the French rioting in Paris against their debt quagmire?
It is not like Paris has any money to give away.
Should not they riot in Brussels (European Commission), Frankfurt (ECB headquarter) or Washington DC (IMF headquarter) who can forgive part of the debt or just bail France out, instead of rioting in Paris? They can hold the threat of Frexit or exiting Eurozone as a hostage until the ECB gives in? What's the point of doing it in Paris apart from damaging the French economy itself (by destruction and lost productivity)?

Are they not? If and when there is a riot, we already crossed the line of what is allowed.
No law ever states that you are allowed to riot on every 16th of the month or second thursday or so on!
No law states that only Belgians are allowed to riot in Brussels either!

The French love to protest and ask the state for things. It's what they do best.

I think government spending accounts for over half their GDP. Imagine living in a society where the government controls half of all productive output.

This is why I said they like to ask state for things.
And I’m living in a country where government do the same. Instead of protest I’m getting out of this slavery. It will take too long, but at the end I’ll be free.
