Grammar
Comma between two adjectives: Compulsory?
Dear all,
A nagging problem:
"Her article points to the fact that intragenerational justice can be best achieved through the promotion of “real autonomy” for young French citizens."
Should a comma be inserted between "young" and "French"? Is this sentence grammatically incorrect of the comma is omitted?
Thanks in advance!

No comma; if you inserted one, it would be incorrect: the structure is 'young (French citizens)' as opposed to 'old French citizens'.
