The problems that are there today – the demands of high school students, the rise in fuel or the cost of living – will be there tomorrow, regardless of the man or woman who wins the presidential election."Beyond this obvious fact, the protests and violence observed during the weekend of October 17 worry observers of political life.
This protest and the violence observed during the weekend of October 17 arouse concern among observers of political life, six months before an electoral deadline wrongly presented as a miracle solution.
Current problems, whether high school students' demands, rising fuel prices or the cost of living, will persist after the presidential election, regardless of who wins the vote.
The sudden emergence of such a protest movement six months before the presidential election does not argue in favor of a vote seen as a solution to the crisis, against a backdrop of crisis of representation and action.
If political leaders want to believe and make citizens believe that voting can resolve the current crises, the political scientists and researchers interviewed doubt it, believing that institutionalized politics will not solve everything.
It has never been in a position, since 1962, to overcome a situation where political opinion is deeply divided into more than two blocs. ays would deteriorate in the coming months.
