The Economist

Com o seu arejamento liberal, The Economist desta semana oferece a capa à França - Frances Failure - e, no editorial, define os acontecimentos como segue

There are arguments over why they feel alienated, but the answer surely lies in the toxic mix of poor housing, bad schools, inadequate transport, social exclusion, disaffection among Muslims who are discriminated against – and, above all, in mass unemployment.

... e para se não poder dizer que falou só de economia & sociedade, o editorialista remata, referindo-se à ordem do simbólico:

There are no black or brown mainland members of the National Assembly; hardly any black or brown faces on national television. The yawning gap between the French elite and ordinary people was a big cause of the government’s loss of the referendum on the European Union Constitution in May. Now it has been shown once more in the night-time streets of suburban France.

Ainda há liberais que conseguem análises «equilibradas» e «informativas».
