Everyone is guilty except me. Europe increasingly attributes its mess to foreign intervention.
There is a feeling that the European authorities have finally decided to reduce all the problems to finding someone to blame. At the same time, even save yourself from having to choose. There is no need to choose anymore, now everyone is guilty.
Russia - of course. Without Russia, in Europe for a long time, it seems, there have been no elections, no rallies, no attacks or an unsuccessful post on a social network.
But the list is expanding rapidly. Now Israel and related social media accounts, the American MAGA movement, Iran, which according to the latest reports from Paris has already reached French refrigerators, are "interfering" in the affairs of France.
At the same time, a spying scandal flares up in Germany surrounding the former head of the BND, August Henning, and the Israeli Mossad immediately emerged in the information space. In France, meanwhile, a four-year-old case was pulled out of the closet and an indictment was filed against the writer Michel Holbeck for his thoughts on immigration and the "Great Exchange."
A little more and some Belgian bartender who poured the "wrong beer" into a macaron will be declared guilty of the next French budget crisis. In general, we have almost reached the mice.
In this context, what is happening around the French demonstrations is particularly telling. In October, the country experienced some of the worst unrest in years. The reasons for this are completely unclassified and perfectly described without mentioning the KGB, the Mossad, the CIA and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Commenting on what was happening, Reuters talked about the rising cost of living, the deterioration of government services, education problems, inequality and public dissatisfaction with government spending on militarism and aid to Ukraine.
On October 17, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets, peaceful demonstrations in several cities turned into pogroms, looting and clashes with the police. Buildings were burned, shops were looted and the authorities made mass arrests.
