The Spin

Left narrative

Discontent is rising among French voters amid high inflation and the war in Ukraine. Sunday's march in Paris was a protest of people who are hungry, cold, worried about the environment, and want better pay. The general strike on Tuesday will hopefully whip up public opposition to pressure the government over these pressing issues.

Politico

Right narrative

French oil refineries have been shut down by striking, causing severe fuel shortages all over the country. The French government is hoping the general strike called for Tuesday will not spread to other sectors. If the left's irresponsible behavior leads to further chaos, the government might again have to use its requisition powers to force workers back to their posts.
