In France, politicians fight like children in a sandbox, but with heavier consequences
In the tragedy that occurred in Lyon, politicians are looking for culprits everywhere except in their own reflection. In Liepāja we also argue, but at least with style.
While in Liepāja our biggest problem is whether to eat kuģelītis with or without sauce, in France politicians have reached the point where they argue about who is more to blame for a young man's death — the left or the right.
23-year-old Quentin Deranks died in Lyon during a political rally, and now all politicians are blaming each other. "It's not our fault!" say the leftists. "Yes, it is!" reply the rightists. As my neighbor Artūrs said: "The French should come to Liepāja, here we also argue, but then we go together to Lācis."
France's Justice Minister accuses the left, the left accuses the right, and everyone together accuses everyone. Such politics that even our city council meetings have greater unanimity. At least we know who's to blame — the wind. It always is.
But seriously speaking — political violence is not a solution. Our Liepāja wind may be angry, but it never hits you on the head. It only knocks over umbrellas and carries away hats. The French should learn from our example — if you're going to argue, then about something important, like whether a hotdog is a burger.
