周六，法国爆发混乱，55万名抗议者涌上街头，焚烧汽车和建筑物，洗劫路易威登（Louis Vuitton）和爱马仕（Hermès）等高档商店，甚至威胁要冲进爱丽舍宫——这促使坚定的总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙愤怒回应：“让他们来抓我吧！”仅在巴黎，估计有11万名示威者走上街头，蒙面抗议者在该国极左翼反对派领袖的支持下砸毁店面，瞄准奢侈品企业，并与装备催泪瓦斯和水炮的防暴警察正面冲突。首都以外，法国警方表示，全国同时发生140场抗议活动。
Chaos exploded across France on Saturday as 550,000 protesters flooded the streets, torched cars and buildings, looted from posh stores including Louis Vuitton and Hermès, and even threatened to storm the Élysée Palace—prompting a defiant President Emmanuel Macron to rage: “Let them come and get me!”In Paris alone, an estimated 110,000 demonstrators took to the streets, with masked protestors backed by the country’s far-left opposition leader smashing storefronts, targeting luxury business and confronting riot police armed with tear gas and water cannons. Outside of the capital, French police say 140 protests are happening at the same time.
一些抗议者身着黑衣，戴着连帽衫、口罩和护目镜以防催泪瓦斯，甚至威胁要冲进爱丽舍宫——法国总统的官邸，因为对马克龙领导的愤怒已达到沸点。
Some protestors — dressed in black and wearing hoodies, masks and goggles to protect against tear gas — even threatened to storm the Élysée Palace, the official residence of the French president, as anger at Macron’s leadership reached a boiling point.
抗议者的目标是推动政府在生活成本方面作出重大支出让步，同时在高等教育、教师工资、生活成本上涨方面也做出让步，并保护养老金和公共服务免受预算削减。暴力行为远远超出了首都范围。在里昂，该市的旅游中心被纵火焚毁。
The goal of the protesters is to push the government to make major spending concessions in the cost of living, as well as in higher education, teacher salaries, rising living costs, and to protect pensions and public services from budget cuts. And the violence extended far beyond the capital. In Lyon, the city’s tourism center was set ablaze.
在马赛和里尔，抗议者据称闯入市政厅。据CNN附属电台BFMTV报道，在马赛市政厅内，破坏者推翻了法国国家象征玛丽安娜的半身像，砸碎了电视机，并在墙上喷涂了无政府主义标志。
In Marseille and Lille, demonstrators reportedly broke into city halls. Inside Marseille’s municipal headquarters, vandals toppled a bust of Marianne, France’s national symbol, smashed television sets and spray-pained an anarchist emblem on a wall, according to CNN affiliate BFMTV.
BFMTV表示，汽车被焚烧，政府建筑遭到袭击，商铺被洗劫或成为目标的城市包括巴黎、鲁昂、南特、图卢兹和马赛。
Cars were torched, government buildings attacked and shops looted or targeted in cities including Paris, Rouen, Nantes, Toulouse and Marseille, said BFMTV.
在波尔多，抢劫者砸毁了苹果（Apple）、路易威登和爱马仕等高端商店的橱窗。
In Bordeaux, looters smashed the storefronts of high-end shops, such as Apple and Louis Vuitton and Hermès.
内政部长洛朗·纽内斯表示，全国约有400名参与示威的人被逮捕，其中巴黎有110人，他在一次新闻发布会上透露了这一消息，据BBC报道。
Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said approximately 400 people who took part in the demonstrations were arrested nationwide, including 110 in Paris during a press update, the BBC.
努涅斯表示，全国多个城市的公共建筑存在“明确的针对性意图”，并将大部分破坏和破坏行为归咎于与“硬核和极端左翼”有关联的武装分子，指责他们故意针对公共机构。
Nuñez says there was a “clear desire” to target public buildings in many cities across the country, and blamed the major part of the destruction and vandalism on militants “associated with the hard and extreme left,” accusing them of deliberately targeting public institutions.
他说，绝大多数示威活动是合法的，但指出在其边缘活动的暴力团体已将和平抗议转变为广泛的破坏。
He said the vast majority of demonstrations were lawful, but said violent groups operating on their fringes had transformed peaceful protests into widespread destruction.
总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科努也重申了这一说法，并指责极左组织策划暴力，而投机团体则利用学生骚乱进行抢劫和破坏财产。
Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu echoed that statement and accused far-left organizations of orchestrating violence while opportunist groups exploited the student unrest to loot and destroy property.
“和平抗议在我们共和国中有其完全的位置，”勒科努宣称。“抢劫和袭击则没有。”马克龙 — — 他将于2027年4月参加选举 — — 发出警告，承诺将严厉处理抗议者。
“Peaceful protests have their full place in our Republic,” Lecornu declared. “Looting and attacks have none.”Macron — who is up for election in April 2027 — issued a warning, promising the protestors will be dealt with harshly.
他在社交媒体帖子中写道，那些“破坏和袭击”府邸和企业、“洗劫”市政厅的人将被“起诉和惩罚”。
In a social media post, he wrote that those “who have vandalised and attacked” prefectures and businesses and “looted” town halls will be “prosecuted and punished”.
“我们将团结一致，反对那些只想摧毁我们的机构、阻止和平表达诉求的人制造混乱的人，”他补充道。
“We will all stand united against the sowers of chaos, who seek only to bring down our institutions and prevent those who peacefully express their demands from doing so,” he adds.
最初是学生领导的、支持罢工教师的抗议活动，如今已演变为全国性起义，吸引了工会、激进左翼活动人士以及反体制的“黄背心”运动加入，与当局的对峙日益激化。
What began as a student-led protest in support of striking teachers has spiraled into a nationwide uprising, drawing trade unions, radical left-wing activists and the anti-establishment Yellow Vest movement into an increasingly volatile confrontation with authorities.
这场骚乱得到了极左翼反对党“法国不屈”（La France Insoumise）的支持。该党领袖让-吕克·梅朗雄在明年总统选举的民意调查中排名第二，选举将在六个月后举行。
The disorder is backed by the far-left opposition leader La France Insoumise (France Unbowed) party. Its leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is second in the polls for next year’s presidential elections, which take place in six months.
梅朗雄指责当局阻止抗议者前往巴黎的共和国广场，他表示该广场原定为抗议的起点。
Mélenchon blamed the authorities for blocking protesters from reaching Place de la République in Paris, which he said had been designated as the start of the protest.
“冲突似乎是这种‘执法’策略的目标。令人 lamentable，”梅朗雄在《人道报》上写道。监督巴黎警察部队的机构为其警员的行动进行了辩护，并表示将“在面对骚乱者时不会退缩”。
“Confrontation seems to be the goal of this ‘law enforcement’ strategy. Lamentable,” Mélenchon wrote on The body overseeing the Paris Police Force defended the actions of its officers and said it will “not back down in the face of rioters.”
