The streets of Paris, once a symbol of romance and culture, now burn with the flames of chaos in 2025. What began as a celebration of PSG’s Champions League victory spiraled into a nightmare of violence, looting, and destruction. Hungarian commentator Zsolt Bayer, writing for Magyar Nemzet, pulls no punches in his scathing analysis: the perpetrators, he claims, are migrants—Arabs and people of color—whose actions reveal the failure of multiculturalism in Europe. His words are a rallying cry, a warning to Hungary and the world: the West is on the brink of collapse.

A City in Flames: The Paris Riots of 2025
The numbers are staggering: 264 cars torched, 692 cases of arson, one police officer in a coma, and two lives lost—one to a stabbing, another in a car accident. Mass looting left 192 people injured, including 21 police officers and seven firefighters. Social media exploded with videos capturing the raw brutality. In one clip, shared by RMXnews, a mob attacks a police vehicle, forcing officers to flee. Another, from BFMTV, shows looters smashing storefronts on the Champs-Élysées, a street synonymous with French pride, now reduced to a warzone.
Bayer doesn’t mince words: “All this was done by migrants. Look at the footage! Arabs and people of color are setting fires, looting, attacking police officers and defenseless girls.” He highlights a double standard in media reporting, noting that while the race of a White perpetrator—like in a recent Liverpool attack—is quickly emphasized, the identity of non-White rioters is taboo. “For a white perpetrator, it is important that he is white. For a colored perpetrator, it is forbidden to talk about him,” Bayer writes, echoing sentiments shared by French politician Éric Zemmour, who has long blamed Arab-Muslim immigration for France’s woes.
Zemmour, a polarizing figure, stated, “Whether they were born here or there, whether they are French or foreign, they hate France and the French. The Whites… are their enemies.” While Zemmour faces frequent legal battles for “hate speech” in France, Bayer, writing from Hungary, enjoys greater freedom to speak his mind—a stark contrast to the West’s so-called democratic openness, which Bayer argues is crumbling under the weight of political correctness.
Hungary’s Perspective: A Nation That Sees the Truth
In Hungary, Bayer’s words resonate deeply. This is a nation that has long resisted the tide of mass migration, with leaders like Viktor Orbán championing a vision of cultural preservation. Bayer draws a historical parallel, invoking Charles Martel’s victory at Poitiers in 732 (not 1356, as he mistakenly wrote—a rare slip for the otherwise meticulous commentator). Martel knew his enemy, Bayer argues, and so must we. “Today, there is no Charles Martel, only self-absorbed emptiness,” he laments, warning that the “disgusting scum” of unchecked migration will “devour us” unless we act.
Bayer’s rhetoric is fiery, but his personal history adds weight to his words. A veteran journalist and co-founder of the ruling Fidesz party, he has been a vocal critic of liberal policies for decades. While he has faced accusations of racism in the past, no recent scandals or crimes tarnish his record. His greatest achievement, perhaps, is his unyielding commitment to speaking what he sees as the truth, even when it’s unpopular. In Hungary, his columns are a clarion call to those who fear the erosion of national identity.
A Glimmer of Hope: Hungary’s Latest Archaeological Discovery
Amid these dark warnings, Hungary offers a beacon of pride through a recent archaeological find. In May 2025, researchers near Lake Balaton uncovered a 5th-century Avar burial site, revealing intricately crafted gold jewelry and weapons that shed light on the nomadic Avar people who once dominated the Carpathian Basin. The discovery, led by the Hungarian National Museum, has been hailed as a testament to Hungary’s rich history. “These artifacts remind us of who we are—a people with deep roots, capable of greatness,” said lead archaeologist Dr. István Fodor. The find has sparked national pride, with exhibitions planned across Budapest to showcase Hungary’s enduring legacy.
The Emotional Toll: Mental Health in a Time of Crisis
The chaos in Paris doesn’t just threaten physical safety—it takes a profound emotional toll. Reports of anxiety and depression have surged in France, with a 2025 study by the French Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) revealing that 1 in 4 Parisians now struggles with anxiety disorders, many citing social unrest as a key trigger. Hungarian psychologist Dr. Éva Nagy offers a simple yet powerful tip: “Ground yourself in routine. Even in chaos, small acts like brewing a cup of chamomile tea—known for its calming properties—can anchor you.” Chamomile, a staple in Hungarian folk medicine, has been validated by modern research; a 2024 study in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology found it reduces anxiety symptoms by up to 30% when consumed regularly.
Looking to the Stars: A Global Space Update
While Europe grapples with earthly conflicts, the cosmos offers a glimmer of unity. In early June 2025, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced the discovery of a potentially habitable exoplanet, dubbed Proxima d, just 4.2 light-years away. Orbiting Proxima Centauri, this rocky world has liquid water—a key ingredient for life. “This is a monumental step in our search for extraterrestrial life,” said ESA scientist Dr. Maria Rossi. For Hungarians, this news sparks wonder, a reminder that even in turbulent times, humanity can still dream of the stars.
The Road Ahead: A Call to Action
Zsolt Bayer’s warning is clear: the Paris riots are a symptom of a deeper malaise. From Hungary’s vantage point, the West’s experiment with multiculturalism has failed, and the consequences are deadly. Yet, Hungary itself offers hope—through its steadfast cultural pride, as seen in the Avar discovery, and its practical wisdom, like the calming power of chamomile. As Bayer writes, “This is the island of Lord of the Flies, and the end is near.” But perhaps, with courage and clarity, we can change the story’s ending.
