France has a long history of public protest, often turning violent, rooted in its revolutionary past. French law also grants broad rights to demonstrate, and police focus on containing disorder rather than preventing it entirely. This cultural and legal framework means large-scale unrest, like the recent riots, is a recurring feature of French society. Farage's warning taps into this perception.
