What is going on in France?
Not enough teachers. Packed classrooms. Fuel prices through the roof.
First the high schoolers walked out. Then the students. Then everyone.
This is the story, the way it happened. $PURGE is how it ends.
Halloween night in France. Masks on. Paper hands off.
The fuse is lit. 31.10, Halloween.

17 October 2026
A call against fuel prices and the cost of living. Unions, students, high schoolers, gilets jaunes. One date, every city.
17.10 · Limoges
Late afternoon, part of the march heads for the Hôtel de Ville. Windows go, fire takes the ground floor. Around 8:30 pm the campanile, the city's landmark, collapses.
18.10 · The world watches
Even Donald Trump reacts: France is burning, he says. The images go around the planet, and Crypto Twitter is already minting the coins.
17.10 · Nice
Looters hit the high street. Pierre, who runs the Micromania game store, stands in his smashed doorway to stop them and takes a kick in the back. By morning, the whole internet knows his name.

On launch night $PURGE streams IRL on three platforms at once. If one pulls the plug, the other two keep rolling.
24 October 2026
A sea of people in the streets.
And in the media, it felt like it wasn't meant to be seen.
The coin born that morning
Next act: the 31st, 6 PM.
31 October · Halloween
The whole country in costume. One coin closes the saga.
Halloween night and the biggest protests France has had this year, in one coin. Two metas that already make noise on their own, stacked on the same night.
The fuse is lit. 31.10, Halloween.
$RISE was about to run. The live got banned and the chart died with it. This time: three lives at once, pump.fun, Kick and X.
Every goal the chart hits unlocks something we do for real, in the march, on the live.
