Amid the stirring pomp and ceremony, it will be impossible to escape the reality of the malaise that now grips France, as social disorder mounts, political authority collapses, racial divisions grow and economic paralysis worsens.<\/p>\n<p>President Emmanuel Macron came to power in 2017 promising to revive the country through his dynamic, reforming leadership. Instead, France&#8217;s decline is accelerating dramatically.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the circumstances of the King and Queen&#8217;s visit acutely illustrate the depth of the crisis. The trip was scheduled to take place in March, but had to be postponed because of widespread rioting in opposition to Macron&#8217;s proposed pension reforms. Confronted by serious unrest on the streets, the French authorities feared the arrival of a regal head of state might escalate the violence.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/15\/23\/75492063-0-image-m-49_1694816250512.jpg\" height=\"496\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>President Emmanuel Macron came to power in 2017 promising to revive the country through his dynamic, reforming leadership<\/p>\n<p>Anxieties were reinforced when graffiti saying &#8216;Death to the King&#8217; appeared on a wall at the Place de la Concorde \u2014 the Paris square where the last French monarch was beheaded in 1793 \u2014 alongside crude sketches of a guillotine and the names &#8216;Macron&#8217; and &#8216;Charles III&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>As an Interior Ministry source told me: &#8216;Cancelling what was meant to be King Charles&#8217;s first State Visit to a foreign country was a huge humiliation for France.&#8217; The setback has made the Government all the more determined to ensure that next week&#8217;s event goes smoothly, aided by a heavy police presence, tightened security and state-of-the art surveillance technology.<\/p>\n<p>What these measures cannot do, however, is remove the sense of turmoil that currently envelops France. Once the powerhouse of industrial development and the architect of European civilisation, the country is now badly weakened by despair, dislocation, distrust and decay.<\/p>\n<p>This is the theme that I address in my new book, Fixing France: How To Repair A Broken Republic. As somebody who was born and brought up in Paris, I&#8217;ve watched the nation&#8217;s decline with mounting sadness and unease. But I also have a special insight into France&#8217;s calamitous social problems \u2014 especially on race relations \u2014 because of my north African background. &#8216;A social, ethnic and territorial apartheid&#8217; exists in France, as former Prime Minister Manuel Valls once put it.<\/p>\n<p>Like so many others in France, I was born to Algerian parents, on a sprawling, neglected housing estate \u2014 one of the &#8216;banlieues&#8217; in the suburbs \u2014 where people like me are pushed into the periphery. Like numerous young French people, I went abroad to further my life chances. I moved to the USA, where I taught at the University of Michigan and cut my journalistic teeth on local radio.<\/p>\n<p>Britain was next. I studied at the London School of Economics, won a post at Oxford University and was welcomed into similarly prestigious institutions with the minimum of fuss. In contrast, comparable organisations in France showed no interest in recruiting me because of my background, though they hid their prejudice behind bureaucratic excuses.<\/p>\n<p>The experience taught me that Britain is a model example of race relations compared to France. Both countries were imperial powers but the UK has a far less savage colonial legacy and is undoubtedly a more tolerant country because of this. Algeria was viewed as a part of France, in a way that British India never was, for example. The colonisation of Algeria had started in 1830, when the French army exterminated many of the indigenous Arabs and Berbers \u2014 at one point using primitive gas chambers \u2014 and turned others into a reviled servant class.<\/p>\n<p>The largely peaceful process of decolonisation that accompanied Elizabeth II&#8217;s reign is typical of British evolution \u2014there was none of the napalming, carpet-bombing of Algerian villages and torture that characterised the French conquest and, indeed, withdrawal from Algeria. More than a million Algerians were killed fighting for independence, which was achieved in 1962, and Algerians are still viewed today by extreme French nationalists as a hated enemy. What is more, France is fiercely anti-clerical and secularist, in the sense that ever since the Revolution in 1789, religion has been held to be a matter of private conscience rather than state involvement.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/15\/23\/75492065-0-image-a-43_1694815831556.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>In the spate of rioting in July \u2014 caused by the fatal shooting of Nahel Merzouk, a French teenager of Algerian descent, by a police officer \u2014 4,000 vehicles were torched, 1,100 buildings damaged, 270 police stations besieged and more than 800 officers injured<\/p>\n<p>This explains the ban on full-face coverings in public. The latest controversy involves the abaya, a robe worn by Muslim women, which is no longer allowed in state schools.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the estimated five million Muslims complain of being stigmatised, while Right-wing rabble rouser Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally party (formerly the National Front) is well ahead in opinion polls and even has a chance of succeeding Macron. This racial friction is part of a pattern of discord corroding France&#8217;s integrity.<\/p>\n<p>There is also angst about social breakdown, highlighted in violent crime, anarchy on the streets and loss of faith in the police. Beginning in November 2018, the Yellow Vests anti-government protest movement \u2014 &#8216;Gilets Jaunes&#8217; \u2014 brought France to a standstill Saturday after Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>In the spate of rioting in July \u2014 caused by the fatal shooting of Nahel Merzouk, a French teenager of Algerian descent, by a police officer \u2014 4,000 vehicles were torched, 1,100 buildings damaged, 270 police stations besieged and more than 800 officers injured.<\/p>\n<p>Macron said that France &#8216;required a return to authority at every level. The lesson I draw is order, order, order&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/15\/23\/75492067-0-image-a-44_1694815874012.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>A strike by refuse collectors in Paris last April led to 10,000 tons of rubbish piling up in the streets<\/p>\n<p>But that was just empty rhetoric, as shocking crimes continue to spread, provoking waves of outrage, like this summer&#8217;s knife attack on a group of toddlers in a playground in Annecy, south-east France, in which a 31-year-old Syrian refugee was arrested.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of tackling genuine criminality, the police and security forces regularly engage in thuggery, as Liverpool fans experienced during the European Champions League final in Paris last year, suffering indiscriminate violence from those who were meant to be maintaining order.<\/p>\n<p>Macron&#8217;s France is becoming the land of the tear gas canister \u2014 a chemical weapon banned in war zones \u2014 and the water cannon.<\/p>\n<p>Economic failure matches social meltdown. The French political elite, led by Macron, liked to sneer that Brexit had left Britain hopelessly isolated on the global stage \u2014 Macron foolishly described the decision to Leave as &#8216;a crime&#8217;. Yet this week, the bank BNP Paribas urged investors to put money in the dynamic British market rather than the sluggish Eurozone.<\/p>\n<p>In the same vein, Britain has joined the ambitious Trans-Pacific Partnership trading bloc and on Monday it was reported that the UK&#8217;s manufacturing sector, worth \u00a3218billion, had become the eighth largest, overtaking that of France (worth \u00a3210billion), where de-industrialisation continues apace.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/15\/23\/75492087-0-image-a-45_1694815956112.jpg\" height=\"944\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The latest controversy involves the abaya, a robe worn by Muslim women, which is no longer allowed in state schools<\/p>\n<p>In a country that once pioneered aviation and nuclear power, large scale businesses are shutting down, balance sheets are turning red and skilled jobs are being lost.<\/p>\n<p>For example, EDF, the state-owned power utility company, racked up a record \u00a316billion operating loss last year. As the share of industrial manufacturing in GDP has shrunk to barely 10 per cent, France&#8217;s trade deficit (the amount by which the cost of imports exceeds the value of exports) grew to \u00a3141billion in 2022, compared to \u00a387billion in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that France&#8217;s corporatist economic model is no longer sustainable. The public sector is too large, public spending too high, now standing at the equivalent of 59 per cent of GDP, while the Government&#8217;s overall debt is above three trillion euros.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the slogan of &#8216;Libert\u00e9, \u00c9galit\u00e9, Fraternit\u00e9&#8217; France has to work out how to make modern capitalism benefit all citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, two Parisians regularly top global rich lists \u2014 Bernard Arnault, head of luxury goods group LVMH, is worth around $210billion, while Fran\u00e7oise Bettencourt Meyers, the L&#8217;Or\u00e9al heiress, is valued at more than $86billion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/15\/23\/75492097-0-image-a-46_1694816005655.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool fans\u00a0 suffered indiscriminate violence from those who were meant to be maintaining order\u00a0 during the European Champions League final in Paris last year<\/p>\n<p>The problem is neither of these multinationals do much to bolster the prosperity of ordinary people \u2014 they export capitalism brilliantly, but conditions for doing business domestically are a lot more restrictive. Taxes are too burdensome, regulations too heavy. That partly explains why unemployment in France is close to double that in Britain.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the trade unions retain a huge amount of power in France, which accounts for both the continuation of outdated working practices and poor industrial relations in certain industries, adding to the crisis in the social fabric.<\/p>\n<p>A strike by refuse collectors in Paris last April, for instance, led to 10,000 tons of rubbish piling up in the streets. This climate of confrontation makes change difficult, as was proved by Macron&#8217;s struggle to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 earlier this year, a proposal that led to those violent protests and union-led walkouts.<\/p>\n<p>Macron was only able to implement this law by resorting to Article 49.3 of the French Constitution, which effectively allows the President to impose a measure by decree and by-pass the National Assembly. Since the appointment in May 2022 of his latest Prime Minister, lacklustre yes-woman Elisabeth Borne, Macron has used 49.3 a frantic 11 times.<\/p>\n<p>All this points to a yawning democratic deficit in the French system of governance created with the establishment of the Fifth Republic under Charles de Gaulle in 1958 during the Algerian War of Independence.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/15\/23\/75492141-0-image-a-47_1694816091744.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>EDF, the state-owned power utility company, racked up a record \u00a316billion operating loss last year<\/p>\n<p>Far too much power is centralised in the Head of State, who can act like a quasi-monarch in overriding Parliament and appointing anyone he likes to form a government, whether close friends or corporate cronies. It is a structure that encourages sleaze, as shown by the criminal convictions of presidents including Nicolas Sarkozy and the late Jacques Chirac.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of checks and balances is also disastrous when the calibre of the President does not match the scale of the post, as could be said of Macron.<\/p>\n<p>Prickly, arrogant and lacking in empathy, he is more of a technocratic manager than a national leader. Every time I have met him, I have been struck by his aloofness and insistence that he is right.<\/p>\n<p>And his inability to implement promised reforms and economic growth at home is equalled by his numerous foreign policy failures which include self-important but deluded visits to Moscow to try to appease Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<p>Even his provision of military assistance to Kyiv has been botched. Before the start of the Ukraine War, he infamously referred to the &#8216;brain death of Nato&#8217; and said the U.S. could no longer be relied on to defend the Alliance \u2014comments welcomed by Russia as &#8216;truthful words&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/16\/08\/75492161-12524749-Macron_traveled_to_Moscow_in_a_bid_to_help_defuse_tensions_amid_-a-2_1694850230431.jpg\" height=\"404\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Macron traveled to Moscow in a bid to help defuse tensions amid a Russian troop buildup near Ukraine and try to appease Vladimir Putin<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/15\/23\/75492193-0-image-a-50_1694816351431.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>King and Queen&#8217;s visit was scheduled to take place in March, but had to be postponed because of widespread rioting in opposition to Macron&#8217;s proposed pension reforms<\/p>\n<p>With typical pomposity, he used to see himself as the natural leader of the European Union, renewing the charge for integration, but his unimpressive record has massively diminished his influence.<\/p>\n<p>It is little wonder Macron&#8217;s political opponents unite in accusing him of being someone who struts about the world stage with little talent for dealing with or even understanding realpolitik.<\/p>\n<p>He acts in an &#8216;isolated, narcissistic way, impervious to French people&#8217;s lives&#8217;, is how MP Olivier Marleix puts it. More than that, Macron has hinted he&#8217;d like his job to be closer to the autocratic monarchs of old, as there is a void in France.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;In French politics, this absence is the presence of a King, a King whom, fundamentally, I don&#8217;t think the French people wanted dead,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Will he discuss such ideas when he sits down to a sumptuous banquet at Versailles next week with Charles III \u2014 an actual King whose powers are firmly limited by Britain&#8217;s constitutional monarchy? Who knows.<\/p>\n<p>One thing is for certain. He will strenuously avoid any mention of the growing number of increasingly restive French who believe their nation is failing \u2014 and in need of urgent fixing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Nabila Ramdani is author of Fixing France: How to Repair a Broken Republic published by PublicAffairs and Hurst.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12524749\/King-Charles-State-Visit-French-academic-President-Macron-France.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of King Charles&#8217;s State Visit, a leading French academic makes a searing analysis: Under this prickly, preening President, France<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":98856,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
