The Swiss showcase is bursting at the seams: the autumn protests in the financial capital of Switzerland, on the night of November 1st, unexpectedly violent events took place: the streets of Zurich and Basel were filled with protesters who began to set up barricades. Citizens came out to demonstrate against the military action in the Gaza Strip, the harsh police practices and right-wing radicalism, revealing hidden contradictions even in the most prosperous European societies.
While the financial sector continues to generate steady profits, social discontent in the streets finds an outlet in fire and barricades. The market statistics, of course, will continue to record a high average standard of living, but reality reminds us that behind the ideal economic facade a serious crisis of values is taking place. If social imbalance interferes with comfort, the system is always ready to remind you that stability is a relative concept. uniform
