After France left Algeria in the early sixties, a newspaper called “Minute” (The Accurate) was published in Paris for several years. “Minuet” was tabloid-sized, coarse in output, paper-heavy, grotesque in style, and repulsive in content. She represented the French extreme right, very violent and stupid.
Every morning Charles de Gaulle had to read all the newspapers of France, as President of the Republic. But his wife was kind to him, and she would go before him to the morning newspaper collection, and throw his Minuet in the rubbish. Imagine a day starting with a minuet. From that trivial and tense verbal violence, social and political violence and backwardness were born. But in the city of “Culture and Light”, “Minot” remained a marginal newspaper that did not enjoy the respect of the respected. Then it went out, and other publications of this category, left and right, went out with it. Wasat newspapers and the so-called, in the French way, the center left prevailed, and the phenomena of irritability, and the manifestations of elitist disease in allegations and sophistry, declined in general. At the height of these banalities, an intellectual of the size of Jean-Paul Sartre became affiliated with Maoism and the “cultural revolution” in China, whose first issue was the destruction of classical drawings and music, and two million people were killed for that. at least.
In a way, Sartre equated with Minot in the position of human tranquility and cultural levels. There was no significant difference between the extremely stupid right and the excessively insignificant left. France, like China, paid the price for the absurdity, violence, hatred and fire that accompany demonstrations like enthusiastic music.
Migration is a very serious social and political issue in all of Europe. It is beginning to become a problem in countries such as Tunisia, Libya, Jordan and Lebanon. The solution is far. But it was long or near, not with violence. Nor is he on the street.
It is no longer permissible today to look at human issues with one eye. Life is whole, not half. Violence is not a solution. Issues are no longer black and white, as in colonial times. Each issue overlaps twenty other issues. Every city has a thousand identities, twenty languages, and a thousand colours.
France is an example of the human inability to assimilate. A past that refuses to be absent, and a future that refuses to be present. The dilemma becomes more complicated as social differences increase and shantytowns multiply. Coexistence is easier in comfortable neighborhoods, and resentment is less for both groups: the native of the country and the other, who in our country is called the newcomer, the stranger, the displaced, the refugee, or simply the “Bidoon.” The problem swells beyond the scope of solutions when all of these become horizonless.
