Miaou 39,013 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 This is a mess We have no transport since 1 week, the entire country is blocked For example, I live in Paris and I need to walk 1 hour to go to work This was this morning inside the only underground open at 8 am in Paris This is inside one of the biggest train station in Paris "Gare du Nord" at the end of the day at 6 p.m People are trying to get on the only train this is a CHAOS And it's been like that since 1 week, the situation isn't going to get better for the next days I'm so ashamed of my country I can't imagine the image we give to foreigners Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,080 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 That looks horrendous, I would get so claustrophobic. I'm not judging your country. I don't know what the strikes are about but I'm assuming that the government is to blame. I don't blame the citizens for wanting to strike because that usually happens as a last resort. I'm going to Google and educate myself on this now. Stay safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It sucks for everyone that uses that to get around, but props to the workers on strike fighting for their livelihoods and rights against a government that seeks to take that and many of their benefits away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Digaga 975 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 All this mess just because people think about their own interest first and don't see how it can benefit the whole country Anyway, i'm not affected by those strikes where i live but it still annoying to see that the country get blocked almost every time the government try to do something...

Fish 6,259 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 france needs a reform any way to make the system sustainable. there is a lot to discuss, but im also suspicious about the real motives of the public sector unions in this case.... after all, union can also be very "corporate", in the sense that they have some sort of establishment with privileges and ways, and they want to protect it.

It’s like we’re savage This would happen in any country. Imagine you live at let's say 1h30 from Paris, you just finished your day, you are exhausted and there is only one train... This was expected Other than that, I agree in some ways, they could show a little more respect but on the other hand, it's understandable... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SashaxBzns 514 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 what are you ashamed of??? people protesting the selfish policies of the government?? and police brutality? I hope the strikes go on for months and months, you have such a slave mentality it hurts. Macron WANTS us to shut up, bow our backs and go to work. We're not going to take his ****, and it's me who's ashamed of people like YOU. My country is great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
