    From an outsiders view this seems like a really strange affairs. So immigrants living there for 25 years aren’t allowed to vote in regional (?) elections so that the natives can easier secede which they didn’t partly because they didn’t participate in the vote? Or would this create the same backlash when tourned around and immigrants in France couldn’t vote?

    But he added: “The unrest of the last 24 hours reveals the determination of our young people to no longer let France take control of them.”

    I don’t doubt he’s right but I find it fascinating that those young people are essentially rioting to not be allowed to vote.
