After having passed the immigration law, after having announced the holding of disciplinary councils in primary schools, the uniform and the SNU and while we relentlessly pursue environmental activists, trade unionists and political opponents like Mathilde Panot, we will discuss universalism and democracy in front of an audience of obligated people and behind four cordons of mobile gendarmes – the usual Potemkin village of a weak, talkative power cut off from all reality.
