Caos in Francia dopo che Macron si rifiuta di nominare un primo ministro della coalizione di sinistra

They’re trying to Corbyn the left, but the French left is stronger than the Anglophone left.

Chaos is a rather strong word… If you actually read French-speaking sources, it’s more: many left-wing politicians are heavily disgruntled by the lack of respect Macron shows for the results of democratic elections.

The way British medias talk about France is fascinating. One one hand, they always try to make things look worse than they actually are. They like to describe France as somehow chaotic or being in a catastrophic state on all metrics. As if they wanted to distract from the fact that the country that is actually becoming a hellhole, is the UK, and not France. And I say that as a Belgian, a country where we (French-speaking Belgian) tend to have a quite negative view on France (except to go to holiday there that is).

On another hand, they always like to depict the UK as some sort of victim from France or the EU, as if somehow, we (EUians) liked to persecute them or always wanted to attack them. Yet, they don’t realise we don’t care about them, we don’t think much at all about them, and they are the ones who do “hate” on us.

Is France the new Belgium ?
