The ban is in effect through Bastille Day in order to prevent "serious disturbances" to public order, the French government announced Sunday.

This is some very ironic, animal farm energy here. The government has forgotten who gave them their power.

Well tbf the Storming of the Bastille was (off the top of my head) two monarchies, two empires and two republics ago. Not to mention any communes, committees of public safety, or directories. How can you blame them for getting confused?? /s

They do still have multiple programs in place to ensure the populace always has bread. They haven’t completely forgotten.
