Event Overview

Protests sweep across France after a 17-year-old boy of Algerian heritage was shot by police near Paris. French officials have mobilized police officers across the country as peaceful protests have turned into violent riots. More issues arise from this conflict every day, and the public is left asking more questions.

What are the consequences for rule of law as the national police and the military rise up against the president? Are the people of France facing a constitutional crisis? Could such a massive response have an impact on immigration throughout Europe?

Join Common Sense Society for a discussion with Alexandre Pesey, CSS trustee and executive director of the Institut de Formation Politique. Q&A with CSS members and alumni to follow.
