Right-Wing Riots

Following a recent government decision, monarchists and right-wing extremists from across the country have descended upon the capital with the express purpose to 'finish the work left undone in 1934', when a similar riot had failed to storm parliament but had managed to force the government to resign. Although the police was forewarned that the protests would likely turn violent, they were unprepared for the level of organization and aggression displayed by these well-prepared groups. In several instances, police guarding the Place de la Concorde were forced to open fire on the protestors to hold their position. With several dozen dead and hundreds of wounded, the protestors have withdrawn from the capital to lick their wounds, but they have succeeded in showing the country that the government is not safe even in its own capital.
