The protesters have every right to show the world that their govt is corrupt. We are all sick of politicians ignoring what the public want.

You cannot go to the Olympics in Paris: Announcing a strike by airport unions for a pay rise and against pay differences. From July 17, 2024 in France. From 16.7.2024 Prague. Airplanes won't fly.😳
