Harraga: a reflection of the blankness between state and society

    A: It is true that this phenomenon was not important at times of terrorism. Instability, somewhere, was paradoxically a significant possibility of change. But here, the end of the instability has announced the continuation of the irreversible situation as it was. The stability that followed the violence has not confirmed the change and it has therefore increased this type of reaction.
    
    Q: The authorities seem helpless before this phenomenon and a former prime minister even admitted he does not understand.

    A: When a former prime minister says not to understand this phenomenon, it means there’s no real dialogue. The phenomenon reflects the emptiness which is achieves by the authorities in their relations with society. Thus the absence of intermediation, the decline of society that makes this phenomenon occurs at the base. This is the paradoxical consequence of the domination of political and social aspects. It is the need to have control on the society that leaves no space to the individual freedom. And since we’re in a voting period, these young people vote with their feet as they do not vote with their hands. The authorities may not understand, because they can not understand society.
