France's Triple Crisis: Far-Left Riots, A Ticking Debt Bomb, And Mass Migration Collide
France is tearing itself apart as far-left riots, a dire fiscal situation and years of unfettered mass migration collide, while President Emmanuel Macron loses his grip and his approval rating craters, raising the prospect of a victory for right-wing candidate Marine Le Pen in next year's presidential election.
Far-left riots gained momentum in the new week, with Bloomberg reporting Tuesday that 256,000 people "demonstrated" nationwide, including 56,000 in Paris. Nearly 500 people were arrested, taking the total since September 28 to more than 6,500.
Police used tear gas in some locations, and 43 officers were injured earlier today as social unrest intensified:

Interventionism Created Spain's Housing Crisis And Is A Warning To America
Authored by Daniel Lacalle via dlacalle.com,
Socialist Americans are promising affordable housing through rent controls and government intervention. The evidence shows that these policies deliver the opposite.
Spain's housing crisis is presented by socialists as proof that they must impose tougher rent controls, higher taxes on owners, tighter restrictions on investors, and broader intervention in the rental market. The evidence shows the opposite. Spain's excessive intervention, regulation, and taxation have created a destructive combination of exploding demand, chronically insufficient construction, hostility toward private rental supply, and growing legal uncertainty for owners.
Spain's socialist housing intervention has delivered the exact opposite of what it promised. Rents are up by more than 50% since Pedro Sanchez entered the government and started imposing interventionist policies; around 300,000 homes have...

Office CMBS Delinquency Rate Re-Spikes To 12.2%, Far Worse Than Financial Crisis Peak As End Of Extend-And-Pretend Looms
Authored by Wolf Richter via WolfStreet.com,
The dictum morphs from "Survive till '25" (when low interest rates were supposed to return) to "Sell at today's price, or the lender will."
The delinquency rate of office mortgages that have been securitized into commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) re-spiked in recent months and in September hit 12.2%, the second highest ever, behind only January 2026 (12.3%), and 1.5 percentage point above the worst moments of the Financial Crisis, according to data by Trepp, which tracks and analyzes CMBS.
The biggest driver of the increase in September was a $1.1 billion maturity default on a loan that had matured in August, and was not paid off. That loan was securitized in 2021 and the different slices of CMBS were sold to institutional investors around the world at the time. The banks that originated the loan are off the hook.
