What is the source of social anger in France?
France is a country of scandals. Until yesterday, Muslims rioted with the cartoon scandal. Then there was the ISIS problem! Did ISIS commit a few massacres in France? Then the yellow vests. Even more recently, reactions against the increase in the retirement age.
In the 70s, France established micro-neighborhoods (neighborhoods, suburbs) outside the cities that were suitable for ghettoization and settled immigrants from Africa and other countries, and then applied its own integration policies to them.
To this end, it gave citizenship to all these migrants.
So what is happening today?
France is on fire. When a person of Algerian origin is killed by the police, people riot and burn everything.
And why?
Because their integration policy has failed.

In fact France is a country of scandals.
* Until yesterday, Muslims rioted with the cartoon scandal.
* Then there was the ISIS problem for a while! Did ISIS commit a few massacres in France?
* Then the yellow vests.
* Even more recently, reactions against the increase in the retirement age.
Perhaps the main reason for all this turmoil is the changing demography, the second class citizens living in ghettoized suburbs!

According to the global peace index, France ranks 60th.
We are much further behind, but considering the national income, France should have been expected to be much higher.
In order to prevent social anger, I wonder if it would help if the society consisted of more similar individuals.
But this is not possible, so these problems arise.
People from the former colonies, then Morocco and Algeria just to the south, that is Africa. Immigrants from all these places, both illegal immigrants and citizens of the colonial countries who arrived legally, are now French.
They vote and they revolt when they are dissatisfied.
Yes, in the heart of Europe, in the cradle of civilization, today there are riots.
The country of Marie Antoinette, who said that if they can't find bread, let them eat cake, is burning today.
The country of Napoleon with one hand tucked inside his jacket is burning today.
The country of King Louis in tinsel clothes who said the state is mine is burning.
France, which introduced the republic to the world with the French Revolution, is burning.
France, the cradle of culture, the country where all kinds of standards were set, is burning today.

OK, France today is no longer the France of old, but it is still an important state in the world.
It would be bad if it spreads all over Europe.
I don't know if these protests will play into the hands of the extreme right wing in its lumpen character.
I don't know when public anger will calm down.
I don't know where these immigrants who want equal citizenship will drag France.
I think this issue is only France's problem.
After all, they did it themselves, they found it themselves. They brought them and created ghettos outside French cities.
Could this have anything to do with us, what does it have to do with us?
Isn't this the way it is? You can't cry for yourself!
Love and respect to everyone from Moscow
