French friends: New-year train from Nice to Marseilles?

Is it true that your President had to make a special speech on TV regarding that "accident"?

What do you think about it? Are you still going to be "tolerant"?

It is. I found it not revelant as it happens everywhere, anytime. Doesn't mean that it is ok to assault people, but the president doing a speach on it is quite too much for the matter.

I'm not sure to understand what you mean by that sentance. We aren't more tolerant (even if i dislike this word) than other countrys from UE.
The fact is that the politicals trend here is on security, like it is in USA. Think of '1984' and you'll get the point.
I think that every politic who play with the 'fear' factor is a danger to the democraty.
