French crisis; Who is to blame, Islam or Macron? Translator: Seyed Mohammed Amin Abadi The uprising that hit Paris and cities all over France this fall, and at times led to violence, looting and destruction, revealed the depth of the crisis that befell the country during the presidency of Emmanuel Macron. This rebellion is not a temporary outburst of anger; Instead, it is more like the events of May 1968; A time when the student revolt became a national crisis and its legacy continues to influence France today. If we were to describe Macron's presidency in one word, that word would be "anger". From the yellow vest movement to strikes against pension reforms, suburban riots and demonstrations these days, France is almost always in a state of unrest and inflammation. Macron did not create all of France's problems, but by being arrogant and dealing with the high-class residents of this country, he increased their severity; Especially in dealing with French citizens of North African and African origin and even France's African partners. The root of this increase must be sought in an internal and suffocating crisis: a decrease in purchasing power, stagnant wages, rising prices and the spread of poverty. Young people, along with the working class and the lower middle classes, bore the brunt of this situation; For this reason, the demonstrations spread far beyond Paris. Macron's neoliberal policies exacerbated inequality and accelerated the erosion of public services. But the French crisis is deeper than the economic issues. French children grow up with the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity; But what they face with French society next is injustice and discrimination. The young people who protested French secondary schools knew exactly what they were protesting: the absence of teachers, dilapidated buildings and a future worse than their parents' current situation. However, shortly after their presence on the streets, others came to explain what they were really protesting.
