The 'frexit' thing was interesting - pretty much forgotten here now, but it was a central issue in the split of the old Front National and reformation as the Rassemblement National - LePen realised that she was not electable with the old stance on the EU.
France often has volatile protests - and this is of course one reason it works - as indeed are the strikes it is famous for. Generally, they are good humoured - indeed fun - I have been caught up in several - but there is a problem in some cities, especially Paris (where my daughter lives) - partly I think because of poor policing.
