You are naive if you think Europeans have any semblance of control. What good did all those French riots do this year? Last I checked, the retirement age change got signed into law anyway. All they did was cause damage to their cities the cost of which is levied back onto them.
- mrtksn 3y ago>What good did all those French riots do this year Riots don't necessarily need to achieve an objective. It creates a political and economical cost to politicians. It means that you can't simply ignore the minority only because you currently have a majority, so it forces them to consider a compromise good enough. That's not always possible but it's essentially what separates France from Turkey. In Turkey, Erdogan wins the elections by %51 and completely ignores the %49 because they can't win an election and can't disrupt the public anymore. >You are naive if you think Europeans have any semblance of control Who do you think has control?
- JAlexoid 3y agoThe opposition to rising of the retirement age isn't "the minority", it was in fact - a majority that was against it.
