Watching the protests about Hollade not keeping his promises, made me ask myself if the French are really that naïve?
I mean did they really think that a politician would keep his promises? If it is hard (if not impossible) for them to do so when the economy is growing, how could a country's president manage to do it in times of recession?
What we can condemn is that he had made those promises in the first place for I do not believe he did not know the real state of his country's economy at the time of the elections and we can never promise what we can't keep.
Like any other politician he did what he had to do to get to the presidential seat, that is all.
French will have to get over it and try again on a new election although they shouldn't expect every promise to be fulfilled (even when a politician has every intention to keep his promises there are always external forces which don't allow him or her to keep them all).
This is why I don't agree with my country fellows whose only wish is to have new election so that another one stays ahead of Portugal's fate.
My county like many out there is a sinking ship, it has too many holes to keep afloat and it's no use to keep trying to save it by taking the water out with buckets for it always enters more than the one being removed.
What we need is a new ship, one which will only move forward, one which will sail towards development without fears.
