Legitimacy vs. Legality Sometimes in heated debates around social tectonics, real pearls are found that return ethics to the center of a political discourse that has lost the compass of common sense. Here a young female student ("leftist", the power sharers would add) brilliantly replaces a representative of the "Macaron" she imposed on the high school and October 17th movements. The legitimacy of the state can indeed oppose the legitimacy of popular or even representative demands. But today, with increasingly violent authoritarian contempt, the central power finds shelter behind legality which it is the first to trample in order to protect its interests, its privileges and the financial and ideological system it represents. Yellow vests, complaint registers, referendums and even legislative elections! Each time the voice of the people is ignored, humiliated, insulted, and in the end they are pushed, in order to be heard, into more and more violent demonstrations. In 1990, high school demonstrations were also sidelined by apolitical troublemakers and under the complicit gaze of law enforcement or, more precisely, disorderly forces, exciting and enabling any action that might discredit or, at worst, divert attention from the social movement. Today this state strategy is worse and unlimited, because political mediocrity is such that power can no longer rule except through normalized police and judicial violence. The more these new princes censor, beat and imprison citizens (while leaving corrupt politicians, troublemakers and pedophiles to fend for themselves), the more they will arouse the legitimate anger of peoples who, like this student, have a memory of past struggles. These scoundrels who rule France should re-read the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which they claim are its slanderers to the point of incorporating it into the French constitutional bloc, as it states this principle from its Article 2:.
