Yes, I do. But
the threat thereof remains stronger than in many other western democracies. Wouldn't you say?
The Hungarian Prime Minister and the American President (along with a myriad other European head of states) see street-protests as the people's last resort. The French President, methinks, rightly sees it as a first step in a direction best not traveled too far for

Or am I idealizing France beyond its citizenry's actual temperament?
