They’re the ones in charge of preventing it, both at a societal level and more directly during the protests. It’s entirely their fault if they would rather tear gas people playing music and peacefully marching and protect macron’s wife family business.
This week police also responded with force to teachers protests in Madrid and anti-right demonstrations in A Coruña but no one started looting stores and burning down public buildings. I think in Spain most people realize that escalating violence doesn’t lead anywhere. Elections are close, it makes sense to organize, show dissatisfaction, rally voters. What does rioting achieve? Nothing. I really don’t know why people on lemmy keep confusing violence with protesting.
If you put all the blame for the violence on the government than yes.
