A tent is not a vote

In France, the oligarchy has failed to maintain order, attributing vandalism and violence to the far-left's influence. The current unrest reflects a broader crisis, exacerbated by fiscal issues and uncontrolled migration, leading to social disintegration. In Portugal, leftist parties attempted to replicate French insurrections, albeit with less violence due to the absence of similar social conditions. The media has often adopted activist language, framing protests as genuine concerns while neglecting the underlying issues. Political leaders have shown insecurity, failing to address housing crises effectively and instead attributing problems to the opposition. This reflects a broader failure of democratic principles, where clarity of ideas and firm will are lacking.
