31 and pass?

  • Look, the French have elected the president they will have as their leader for the next five years: a young man, a banker and a former minister, an ideal son-in-law for many, full of contradictions, feared to a great extent because it will lead to drastic reforms at the economic and social level, the founder of En Marche!, a movement that is more heterocyllic than a classic party, that blurs the chessboard of politics by melting the left and the right in the same wave. The wave of macronism has engulfed us in the arena by necessity.

In addition to the much-awaited election of Emmanuel Macron, the other feature of this vote is the huge number of abstentions and blank votes. More than a quarter of the population has stayed at home this sunny May 7 or refused to take any risks between the plague and the collapse. Similar speeches have been heard and read throughout the week in the press, in the street and in the anonymity of the buses. Each one has given its own conception, solidifying the mechanisms of democracy.

It is clear from the obscene poster in which he laid his knee naked, whatever his wishes may be, that it was a vote against Mrs Le Pen, who really lost these elections. Isn't it essentially all elections against a candidate? We have given the vote for what we liked in power very much or only once - supposedly... Mitterrand first came out on May 10, 1981. We all remember how that decade ended: socialism opened the way to neoliberalism. The psychodrama of the French elections has no medicine and we are condemned to be disappointed.

Workers, ordinary people, non-middle class participants are trembling today. They've gone to the polls with Duda Franco and they've sounded like a beast that might suck them to the last shred of blood. It is said that he will rule over the intimidation of Ordinance 49-3 and the decisions of the parliaments: it should not be France’s policy – Macron’s motto – only for the leader of the CAC40 and the richest minority of the people. Politicians who continue to claim to be representatives of the people, responsible for the MEDEF, Angela Merkel and Jean-Claude Juncker are happy. It's not a good sign to overdo.

By sending Macron to Elisha the French (Les français sont des veaux said the fox De Gaulle) have shown that they do not desire a leader who would rule with hatred, manipulated fear and anger towards the various strangers and parts of society. And youth can also lead to energetic ideas. In the months immediately after the apparition. You'll find us in Karrika if you want to pass antisocial legislation.

When the slope of the pyramid of the Louvre, in the dark, the European hymn loudly approaches its supporters on foot, it has managed to invade the panel of images (and animated feelings) that we have seen before on Sunday afternoon.

In the meantime, he's got 31 but no hands.
