While the protests have largely been peaceful, violence and rioting have marred the demonstrations , with the French government describing 100s of injuries and 1000s of arrests across the past four weeks.
The right to demonstrate is a fundamental freedom that I will defend with all my life. But looting and destruction should never have any place in these struggles. https://x.com/Vitality_Neo/status/2111519945251229773?s=20 Also read: Voca eliminated in group stage at Elisa BreakOut Series 2
Opinion
Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
Team Vitality still has to answer for this: "Vitality 's CEO took to X to address the situation, saying the vandalism has left him with "a lot of sorrow" whilst also defending the rights of protesters. "The right to demons…" That is the soft spot on the card. Nothing else in these lines closes it.
