Up to 1,000 anti-capitalist urban guerrillas and militant Gilets Jaunes had invaded the peaceful march. I have seen little mention of that in the left-wing, hard-right and Gilets Jaunes media hand-wringing about “police violence”. The Economist blamed the violent Gilets Jaunes protests in December and again in March for the city’s fall in the rankings. The Gilets Jaunes protests have shrunk to a fraction of their strength last winter.
