CONTRIBUTION (2) TO THE NATIONAL DEBATE WISHED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC IN 2019

A yellow vest has called the President of the Republic while stating that he has not voted for years. He replied in essence that when you do not vote you can not claim to criticize or hinder the action of public authorities.

Many French people still believe in the officiality of this logic of citizen responsibility and its social significance.

a- They thus state it during their steps for thirds near elective or administrative authorities; for example for housing disabled people.
b- They think they arouse the interest of the authorities towards these vulnerable people.
c- They then realize that it is not so.
d- Instead, they enter into an implicit code of rejection based on the valorization of the tribe, the networks, the associative corporatism, the between-ones.
e- It replaces the disgust now inspires citizenship to the caciques of the Republic and its administrations.

If there is a quality not to mention in a public or social service, with the services of a City Hall or an elected representative; it is the quality of active voter.

This presidential response could have sparked positive thinking twenty years ago.

Today, it presents itself as a further slap in the face of those who know full well that their vote is, at best, pocketed by the elect as a chore of the ancien regime and generally regarded as a gross intrusion into a process. who, basically, do not look at them.

It is also a question of making the exercise of the right to vote compulsory to make it lose all meaning of law and politics. So that it is publicly established that the French are defeated.
