Donald Trump succeeded this Wednesday in his bet to return to the White House, a clear victory, which is causing shock waves in the United States and around the world. In Gard, Aurélien Colson sees this as “very bad news, on all fronts.” The president of Modem du Gard specifies: “Bad for the rights and health of women in the United States. Bad for American democracy, where all powers will be concentrated for the benefit of a camp which has announced that it wants to “settle its score at the enemy from within. Bad for the fight against global warming. Bad for our farmers and our industrialistsbecause Trump will raise customs duties. Bad for security in the world, because the new president makes no secret of his admiration for dictatorial regimes which intend to invade their neighbors in defiance of their sovereignty and international law.”
“This election demonstrates, unfortunately, that talking nonsense and inventing conspiracies is a winning recipe in damaged democracies by the polarization of political discourses and the anonymity of social networks which are vectors of foreign influences, adds Aurélien Colson. This is why, more than ever, the problems of our fellow citizens in France and the Gard must be taken seriously and treated rigorously, refusing the artifices of ideologues.”
