It the first presidential election since my arrival in France.
What it amused me!
In Japan, the interests of constituents are very low.
Besides, I've never talked politics with my friends in Japan and I've never watched programs on politics.
But in France, I do, so I did not even vote!
Moreover, there is much talk in the media. My favorite show
is the horns of the information. (Even if I do not understand everything!)
But I looked at other programs.
"official campaign" was very interesting for me.
For Japan, this kind of issue? is not custom!
The Japanese politicians speak with words too complicated, and I feel that their policy is theirs. their words are not directed to people.
While the French candidates for president speak very clearly with simple words.
Last year, in France there was a strong mobilization of students against the CPE.
In Japan, young people are interested not in politics is even a story fashioned for them!
Japanese Adults talk a lot less than in France.
I heard talk around during the presidential campaign!
I have the impression that the French refer to it as if they were talking about the weather.
