Could you cut pleasantries like "shitehole"/"knobend"/... on this community, please? I know Orban is not the most likable person, but there is no point in random incivility — it only kills the mood here.
(I respond to you but I mean the 4? other people doing the same in this thread as well.)
I am fairly sure there are pretty intelligent supporters of fast-right leaders (too). And I think there are two angles here: One is how much you let irrational fears and bad instincts take ahold of you, the other is whether you are going out for personal gain.
Well, what you will get is a "reactionary, hateful, nationalist" that is in addition unelected and largely unaccountable. Have fun with the inevitable military coup.
This is a valid point of view. However, in the current french constitution, as it, the elected president has the final authority over the army, which even without the majority at the parliament makes the president able to manage foreign policy. (Sure the parliament can not vote the budget which would technically limit this power).
If Macrons wants to send troops to Ukraine next year, Le Pen, won't have many way to stop him. Well, the parliament can not votes the budget which would strongly limit the ability of the "troops" to work effectively, but that's it. In the previous case of cohabiation, it wasn't a big proble, conservative and socialists are reasonable person who can work together well enough to find arrangement on foreign policy. Think can be more complex with neo-liberals like Macron and far-righter like Le pen
I'm not much too deep into french politics. I just wanted to point out that there are more options than either of two persons having too much control, simply because I hate false dichotomy fallacies.
Just got back from Paris and it was hit hard by covid era. She has lost a bit of her magic. It was not clean, smokers outside of EVERY building, no one seems to care. Sidewalks in ill-repair. The travel facilities like taxi stands are not prepared for the Olympics. Someone there told me everyone is terrified so many people will be coming into town.
I love Paris but I wish there were more French people there. Many many immigrants from Africa, Russia and other places. The festival of bread needs to go. Thank goodness for a few stunning galleries and bakeries that made it worthwhile. Hoping my lungs recover from the second hand smoke soon. Not sure I will be going back for awhile. Sorry to be so negative.
Good point! Because people can’t smoke inside any longer, they are all congregating outside all of the shops, restaurants, and stores and it’s a long path of smokers that one must walk-through as you go down the street.
This has to be trolling. Paris has come a long way since the late 90's early 2000's. The amount of work that has been put in to renovate the city, increase pedestrian areas, anti dog shit laws anti cigarette laws the massive clean ups. I am French and I love to shit on Parisians and their city but this is fucking disingenuous.
" Russian-based companies make up about half of the 61 entities added to the EU's list Monday. In addition to the 19 Chinese companies, it also added nine from Turkey, two in Kyrgyzstan, one in India, one in Kazakhstan, and one in the United Arab Emirates."
Delete yourself, there is shit loads of evidence in the numerous articles. You just believe the antisemitic nazi propaganda you appear to consume a lot.
Bingo, this guys the worst. There’s a concerning amount of leftists who see one side is outmatched and losing a fight, and think it’s a worthy cause to support. Brain dead. This guy in particular loves terrorists. It’s wild
Feddit is kinda dead because you can’t reach it via browser and e.g. federation of mod reports doesn’t work. Especially in c/europe@feddit.de I’ve consequently seen a lot more Hasbara trolling and right wing bootlicking / blatant racism than in most other places.
