Then there's this literally crappy issue where people are pooping into the Seine river for the Olympics.

Now, in a new twist on French bathroom etiquette, some Parisians are talking about openly defecating in the city's famous Seine River after President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo announced they will take a dip in the waterway to prove it's safe for some swimming events at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

1. Big rise in turnout reflects pivotal electionpublished at 21:18 30 June

   We were told there would be a big turnout, and at an estimated 65.5% we got one: the highest in a parliamentary election since 1997.
   It's that rare because, since 2002, the vote for parliament has always followed around a month after presidential elections, so the stakes have never been that high.
   Until now, when Emmanuel Macron dissolved the National Assembly and upended the workings of French democracy.
   It wasn't just National Rally that got its voters out, because the left-wing New Popular Front did too, and Prime Minister Gabriel Attal says hundreds of Ensemble candidates will still be there to fight on in the second round.
   This is what the breakdown in seats looks like, according to the France Télévisions-Radio France exit poll.
   Other exit polls suggest RN could win an absolute majority next Sunday, but this one shows that at best they are only a few seats short of the 289 they need, with a range of 230-280 seats.

   It's been quite a day, with lots of projection, polling and now, some results. If you’re just joining us, here’s a round up of what’s been happening on a historic day in France:
   • The far-right National Rally (RN) party are projected to have won the most votes in the first round of the parliamentary election – with exit polls predicting they took around 34%
   • Exit polls put the left-wing coalition, the New Popular Front, in second place – a group created to combat the far right in this election – on around 28%
   • President Emmanuel Macron’s Ensemble centrist grouping is in third with about 20%
   • The RN's Marine Le Pen says Macron’s party was “practically wiped out”
   • Jordan Bardella, RN's leader, has called this election France’s “most consequential” in 60 years
   • Other party leaders, however, have called on citizens to vote tactically in the second round next week and reject the far right
   • Jean-Luc Melenchon of the hard-left France Unbowed party has vowed to “pull out" candidates in areas where his party has polled third, to give a greater chance of defeating the far right
   • Voter turnout is projected at 67.5%, according to market research group the Elabe organisation, external – which would be the highest turnout in a legislative election since 1981

Got alot in EDMW wish Europe and US will go full tilt towards far right and very gleeful about it.

Because the current far left governments are not working?

Europe and US has regressed backwards under liberal governments

Highly educated, hardworking and skilled migrants have a lot of difficulties getting the paperwork approved to work in Europe. On the other hand, criminals, welfare-seekers simply walk into Europe and sponge off welfare. Crime is also rampant, and authorities do nothing when these migrants commit serious crimes like robbery, rape and murder.

Macron forced pension reform into law even though parliament rejected this. Obviously a dictator will not be favoured by the public.

 

[Teyemittisi]

The olympics will be a spectacle. Can’t wait to see the riots , looting and demonstrations. It will leave a bad impression for all the athletes.
These are century old problems where humans can’t live together in peace due to differing views and lifestyles. We have to be careful as this can happen to Singapore too if we follow the directions of the west
