When did France start screwing up? He revealed that it started after Mitterrand came to power in 1981

The nationwide riots in France have attracted attention from all walks of life. This wave of demonstrations initially started with high school students taking to the streets to roar because of the lack of teachers, old school buildings and educational resources. Later, they joined forces with college students, trade unions and the "Yellow Vest" movement. The scope of the protests expanded to cover the cost of living and public services. Guillaume Herblot, a Frenchman living in Quebec, Canada, revealed that France started messing up everything after François Mitterrand was elected president in 1981.

Heblo said in

Heblo said that before 1981, France was still a country with productivity, export competitiveness, and developed industry. At that time, companies dared to invest and people also had hope. However, after 1981, France began to vigorously promote the nationalization of enterprises, wildly raised taxes, implemented a 39-hour work week, lowered the retirement age, and told the people that only by continuously redistributing other people's wealth can the entire society become richer.

Heblo lamented that these practices resulted in capital flight, depreciation of the franc, inflation, and the famous "Tournant de la rigueur" in 1983. However, this policy turn did not change the original ideological errors.

Heblo pointed out that under such circumstances in France, the scale of government units has become larger and larger, taxes have become more and more burdensome, social welfare culture has overridden individual abilities, and schools have gradually given up standards in the name of educational equality. And immigration policy has gradually become increasingly divorced from the goal of integrating outsiders into French society.

Heblo said that France should have encouraged the people to work and produce, but now the people only ask for and obstruct. France has become a country with a 35-hour work week, all-day strikes, high youth unemployment, strangled middle class, and a government debt-to-GDP ratio as high as 110%.

Heblo believes that the most ridiculous thing is that the French are still deceiving themselves. 45 years later, they still insist that "it is not the fault of the left," "it is the fault of neoliberalism," "it is the fault of Europe," "it is the fault of globalization."

Heblo analyzed that the real problem is that most French people choose to believe in one thing, that is, "you can maintain a luxurious life beyond your own capabilities by letting others pay the bill" and call it "social justice."

Heblo said that it is not possible to destroy a country overnight, but France has chosen this path since 1981 and has gradually accelerated along the edge of the cliff since then. Now it does not understand why it cannot achieve its ideal goal.

In addition, the tragic situation in France has caused worries among Taiwanese netizens. Some people recalled that the Blue and White legislators jointly passed the amendment to the "Elderly Welfare Law" in the Legislative Yuan on the third reading, which clearly stipulates that the health insurance premiums of seniors over 65 years old and whose income tax rate does not reach 20% will be fully subsidized by the central government. This may cause budgetary squeeze or generational conflict. They can't help but sigh that Taiwan really needs to learn from other countries, and call on everyone to really come out to vote on November 28 to eliminate unsuitable politicians.
