You’re basically proving their point for them. If a wrong election turns your democracy into a police state, then you were not living in a true democracy in the first place. And don’t get me started on a democracy where the same assholes get elected for 40+ years
France is not a police state, I fully agree that the police is way too violent but that is not equal to a police state.
France has many problemes but it is still a democracy and they can still vote for change.
Then Macron named 3 Prime Minister from the right party in a row. Vote can change things, you said? Please explain, you seem to know my country so well.
We tried many things : petitions, they are either removed or they say they do not care. Protest, people lost eyes, hands and one person was killed. During protest they took ideas from people, promised to look at them and never did. Then we voted, left won and was never called to form a government.
There is no democracy here. Only an illusion of it. Democracy is not only voting every 5 years.
Oh and not to mention our deputees do not vote because government uses everything it can in the Constitution to pass their unpopular laws through force.
