Riots in Paris by Eva Matova

Riots in Paris Another series of riots stormed thorough the city of Paris in last few days. The anger of young inhabitants was caused by an incidental death of two teenagers who died in a traffic accident hitting a police car. According to a public prosecutor the police has been cleared of blame as the victims were not wearing helmets. A similar accident happened two years ago, when two teenagers, , were electrocuted in a power substation as they where trying to escape the police. The incident took place in Clichy-sous-Bois, a commune in the east of Paris, mostly inhabited by working-class population with low education and unclear visions of a better future. The death of the two boys was followed by riots involving burning cars in the streets of Paris and then spread throughout the country. The French government promised to solve this problem and said to spend $17.68 billion on urban renewal over five years and create a plan extending work opportunities in the suburbs of Paris. Since 2005 the anger of the working class did not cool down. A resident of Villiers-Le-Bel, place where this year's incident took place, said:"These young people are wrong but they're right too in a way. These two kids were their friends and they're dead now. I can understand that they're angry."
