France’s annual Fête de la Musique, once promoted as a joyful celebration of music and unity, spiraled into unprecedented violence and disorder during its 2025 edition.
What began as a summer street festival turned into a night of chaos marked by syringe attacks, stabbings, property destruction, and mass arrests.
According to the French Interior Ministry, nearly 1,500 people were injured, including over 100 women who reported being stabbed with syringes and poisoned—21 of these incidents occurred in Paris alone.
Authorities arrested 12 suspects in connection with the syringe assaults, amid reports that social media had circulated calls to deliberately target women during the festival.
The streets of Paris and provincial towns were littered with trash and scorched cars, as incidents of looting, sexual assault, and violence against officials were reported nationwide.
In Paris alone, 107 individuals were taken into custody, contributing to a total of 371 arrests across France. The majority of both perpetrators and victims were minors, raising concerns about growing lawlessness and youth delinquency. The festival, originally founded in 1982 by Socialist Minister of Culture Jack Lang as an inclusive celebration of music, now symbolizes, for many, the erosion of public order in France.

Too many ” aliens”, especially from sub sahara’ populations ( thanks to the destruction of Lybia) and a weak government.
Now they attack women ( like they did previously in Germany on new years eve)
A problem caused by EU policies. Illimited immigration; destruction of industries etc , in short result of unbridled ” liberalism”
Civil war will be the result
France should know that the ‘Aliens” will be leaving for the UK in coming days
