Rather sadly, l fear this cartoon may be prophetic, and Le Penn will gain power. Then again, there may be many more riots if she does so.
As for just blaming 'immigrants' (who will shoulder most of the blame afterwards) or the riots, here's my view.
The riots were started as protests about schools and schooling. Then it evolved into a cost of living protest and cuts to welfare and health, followed by anger at the police aggression and force against the protesters, leading to a general distrust of the politicians backing the crackdown and enforcing the cuts and laws. Teachers and Fire Fighters were also backing the rioters and supported by them early on, so it's a lot more nuanced than right wing press and gobshites would have you believe.
