For several weeks, France has been experiencing a series of violent incidents, particularly affecting major cities and their outskirts. Shootings, gang-related killings, attacks involving minors—recent events are fuelling a sense that crime is now out of control and that armed violence is becoming increasingly commonplace. In the space of a few weeks, several cases have made the headlines: the murder of a 13-year-old boy in Villefranche-sur-Saône in April, the shooting that left the Moulins district of Nice bloodied on May 11th, and most recently, the death of a 15-year-old boy in Nantes during a shooting on Thursday, May 14th. These are no longer isolated incidents but rather a significant trend: the grip of drug trafficking on cities, made possible by the growing involvement of minors, is colliding with the authorities’ inability to tackle either the causes or the consequences of this crisis head-on.

‘I’m Going to Rape You, Dirty White Girl’
Remix News, the indispensable and unique news source chronicling the manifold glories of mass Muslim migration and multiculturalism in Europe, ran a video on Sunday containing the testimony of Celine, a 22-year-old girl in France, who“describes how two North African immigrants sexually harassed and threatened her and her friend.”
Celine recounted that one of the migrants said to one of the young women: “I’m going to rape you, dirty white girl… You’re scared, dirty white girl?”
Rector of Paris Mosque Accuses Canon Français Banquets of “Exclusion”
The controversy surrounding the banquets organised by Le Canon français shows no sign of abating. The initiative, launched by two young entrepreneurs to revive traditional banquets centred on culinary specialities from across France, has come under fire from the press and the Left on the grounds that it perpetuates an ideology of exclusion and promotes far-right ideas. The rector of the Paris Mosque has spoken out publicly to, in turn, attack these festive gatherings which bring together several thousand enthusiastic guests in towns and cities across France.
In a video dated April 29th, Chems-Eddine Haffiz, rector of the Paris Mosque—who, given his official position, is regarded as a kind of spokesman for Islam in France—lashed out at the Canon français and its banquets: the fact that it celebrates a cuisine featuring pork, he claimed, is proof of a logic of exclusion. He condemns the “4,000 guests gathered around a spit-roasted pig” and accuses them of “symbolically” excluding those who do not share this cuisine—that is to say, Muslims.
Majority of French Think Country Experiencing ‘Great Replacement‘
Six in ten adults in France believe that their country is facing a “great replacement” with the mass importation of non-European immigrants.
A survey conducted by the Institut français d’opinion publique (Ifop) research firm has found that 60 per cent of French people believe that their country is experiencing a “profound demographic transformation” and that the French are being “progressively replaced by non-European populations, primarily from the African continent.”
Starmer and Macron to cut Trump out of Hormuz patrols
Sir Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron are cutting Donald Trump out of plans to patrol the Strait of Hormuz once the war against Iran is over.
The two leaders are piecing together a coalition of mostly European countries in a similar alliance to the French and British-led “coalition of the willing” nations working on Ukraine.
The idea is to send mine-sweeping and other vessels to clear the shipping lane and give companies the confidence to use the strait once the fighting is finished.
But the plan risks angering the mercurial Mr Trump, who has repeatedly castigated his Nato allies for failing to join his war and threatened to reconsider membership of the alliance.
European leaders have insisted this is not their war and ignored US calls to send warships to the strait.
France: Knife-point rape of mother in Vannes leads to arrest of 19-year-old Malian migrant
Between 2012 and 2021, the French court system dismissed 94 percent of rape complaints and 86 percent of sexual violence complaints
A 19-year-old Malian national has been arrested in connection with the rape of a young mother in Vannes, France, on the afternoon of Sunday, April 5, 2026.
Prosecutors state that the two had been in contact over social media when the suspect showed up at her apartment uninvited. Once he had the woman alone, he pulled out a knife and forcibly raped her.
France: Sabotage Incidents Attacking Arms Industry on the Rise
Under cover of darkness on the night of April 6–7, a series of coordinated arson attacks struck multiple sites connected to the arms industry in France’s Cher department, raising concerns about targeted sabotage and the security of critical infrastructure. Far from being isolated incidents, they reflect a worrying trend: that of radical activism reaching a new level by directly targeting the country’s strategic industrial capabilities in a climate of relative leniency and underestimation of the phenomenon.
France’s Fuel Shortages Expose Europe’s New Energy Crisis
12% of French petrol stations have run out of at least one type of fuel. The French government insists there is no nationwide shortage and no supply crisis. Officials describe the problem as a series of “local and temporary logistical tensions,” concentrated mainly in the network of TotalEnergies’ service stations.
But the figure matters because of what it reveals. Europe’s new energy crisis, triggered by the war with Iran and rising tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, is no longer an abstract geopolitical risk. It is beginning to affect ordinary life.
France Struck a Deal With Iran Over Strait of Hormuz? A Stab in the Back Again?
Well, who would have guessed that France would wave the white flag and cut a deal with our enemy?
Not me! Up until now, France has been a staunch ally, right?!
‘Be serious… don’t speak every day’: Macron criticises Trump approach to Iran war

The Iran war requires a “serious” approach that does not change every day, Emmanuel Macron has said, in an apparent reference to US President Donald Trump’s seemingly contradictory remarks about the conflict.
“This is not a show. We are talking about war and peace and the lives of men and women,” the French president told journalists upon arrival in South Korea for a state visit.
“When you want to be serious you don’t say every day the opposite of what you said the day before,” Macron added.
Trump mocks Macron again:

Two-Thirds of French Say “Anti-White Racism” Exists

A recent poll reveals that 67% of French people see “anti-white racism” as a reality in France today.
Conducted by the CSA Institute for CNEWS, Le JDD, and Europe 1, it shows that France is divided on the question. While the majority of those polled acknowledges the phenomenon, voters on the left largely reject the idea: 64% of those supporting the far-left La France Insoumise and 72% of Green party supporters disagree with the hypothesis.
French Police Were Surveilling Antifa During Attack That Killed Student: Report

Plainclothes police officers were present and actively surveilling an Antifa cell during a protest, which saw a conservative student suffer fatal blows to the head in an alleged mob leftist killing, raising questions about whether law enforcement could have intervened to save his life.
Far Left in French Town Halls: Is Civil War Looming?

In the areas where they have just been elected, the mayors from La France Insoumise (LFI) are already making a name for themselves for all the wrong reasons. Recourse to violence, communalism, and sectarianism—they paint a worrying picture of France in the hands of the far left.
Although Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s party is far from having secured the resounding victory it claims in the press following its results in the March 2026 French municipal elections, it has won a few symbolic strongholds that allow it to assert that a “new France” is emerging.
French police detain brothers over ‘lethal and antisemitic’ plot

French anti-terror prosecutors have opened an investigation into two brothers suspected of plotting a “lethal and antisemitic” attack.
They say the men – described as Moroccan-Italian nationals aged 20 and 22 – were picked up last week in a car in northern France.
Officers found a loaded semi-automatic weapon, a bottle of hydrochloric acid and a flag of the Islamic State group in the vehicle, the prosecutors say.
France Prepares Mission To Open Strait of Hormuz as Oil Prices Surge

France has announced preparations for an “international mission” to keep open the Strait of Hormuz, as the war surrounding Iran threatens one of the world’s most important energy routes. The move signals that Paris is considering direct military participation in efforts to secure shipping through the narrow waterway linking the Persian Gulf to global markets.
