A week filled with elections
After
almost 1 and a half week in Paris without Simi she has finally come back home. Although
she brought the cold weather with her it’s great to have her back. It’s been a
strange week and a half, but it was most strange the last 4 days, with all the things
that happened during the Turkish election. I’m not going to
get in to what have most likely happened, but I have to say that it is scary
that it is possible for people to use democracy to get rid of democracy. During
Sunday night, I kept on hearing Senator Amidala, from Star Wars, in my head saying: "So this is how liberty dies… with thunderous applause". The fact that
the person deciding if there should be a re-election is the man who just won
the right to be a dictator. So on Sunday, the future of Simay’s country was
decided, and this Sunday the future of our, and maybe even the future of
Europe, will get closer to a decision. With the upcoming French election this
Sunday, I couldn’t help but think: What if Le Pen wins? I know that she will
probably get through to the second round, but I wish that she gets eliminated in
the first round, so that we don’t have to walk around and worry for another month.
It is truly
an exciting week we’re in right now.
I’m not going
to give you a long list of why you should vote for the candidate I would have
voted for. I will just ask you NOT to vote for Le Pen.
Please.
Now I’m
going to the bakery to get myself a macaron. I suggest you do the same on Sunday, France.
