talking about france

Many people think of beautiful things like the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Elysees, known as one of the most beautiful streets in the world.

The courtyard of the Concorde marks the beginning of the Champs Elysees. Many people who visit France post pictures of themselves standing on the Charles de Gaulle courtyard, where the Arc de Triomphe is located.

Anyone who goes to France usually sits in a coffee shop and takes pictures to show off to friends.

Some go to Le Procope coffee shop, Café de Flore, Les de Mago, etc.

As tourists post pictures of the beauty, luxury, barking dogs and a comfortable life in France.

But instead, I saw France in its truest form.

As I have been living in the Netherlands for almost 6 years, I once had a close friend from France who received a scholarship to study in the Netherlands.

My friend's parents used to be poor people called golshar (homeless people) who had to live in the streets or in the subway stations.

Many times I went to France with this friend.

So I saw France in the perspective of the children of Golchar.

In the past when I was studying in Europe

There are about 100,000 colchars in France. I know that the number has now multiplied many times.

The French government is trying to change the name of Colchar to be more melodic, called Asdeaf (SDF), which stands for San Domicil Fix. Ri means those who have no place to live.

which is now one of France's main social problems.

many years ago

The French government is worried about its pension system going bankrupt.

It is written to be easy to understand.

The government does not have enough money to pay pensions January 10, 2023 Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourne presents to President Macron a plan to reform the pension system from 62 to 64 years old. The new national pension, or retirement system, is to increase budget balance and retirement equity for all walks of life.

Now there are protesters of the reform plan.

It's a million people already.

Police put the number of protesters in Paris at 80,000, but unions put the number in Paris as high as 400,000, according to union figures, with more than 2 million protesters across the country. 64 years

The French government has admitted that the country's pension system is in danger.

Because the ratio between working people and people in retirement is declining rapidly. 50 years ago there were 4 working people per 1 retiree, but now there are only 1.7 working people per 1 retiree and it is about to decrease. keep going down

Other countries in Europe also face the problem of the pension system.

now Italy and Germany

Let people retire at 67 years, England 66 years and Spain 65 years.

France is a NATO member country.

and supporting Ukraine in the Russo-Ukrainian War (2022-2023). The US government tried to force President Macron to support Ukraine more.

Many analysts have written that European NATO member states are uncomfortable with US semi-command instructions.

Because the support will be attached at a huge cost.

Most of these European countries have their own serious economic problems: unemployment, inflation, a decrease in total domestic production capacity, immigration, the daily protests of the people.

gas and oil shortages, etc.

Going back to the era when France was a world power, there is no problem.

Whether in the reign of King Louis XIV (Bourbon dynasty) or the era of King Napoleon 1 (Bonaparte dynasty), because in the past there

Resources from the colonial countries flowed from all over the world for the French people to eat and use.

Millions of Asian and African workers were forced to use it for free.

The era when France was a superpower was over.

The French government had to solve economic problems for the country and all its people to survive.

Fix it so that there is food in the stomachs of all French people.
