NormanH Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Le Monde today paints a grim picture of the decline of a once thriving city.Dans le centre-ville, un commerce sur deux est fermé, certains immeubles ont été entièrement murés pour éviter les squatteurs. On ne compte plus les panneaux "A vendre" ou "A louer" qui pendent aux fenêtres de façades décrépies. Les Biterrois osent à peine fréquenter les ruelles étroites plongées dans le coma après 20 heures. Le centre est occupé par les populations les plus pauvres, souvent issues de l’immigration maghrébine ou gitane sédentarisée. De quoi alimenter un racisme latent contre "les kebabs qui se multiplient", et un vote FN qui ne cesse de progresser.http://crise.blog.lemonde.fr/2013/04/25/a-beziers-lhemorragie-de-lemploi-fait-bondir-le-chomage-a-155/Far from the rosy picture of A place in the Sun.How is your town or village holding up?

Quillan Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Its not just there is it, it is happening all over France. On the BBC news today, I was listening while working rather than watching, it said France now has the second highest unemployment within the EU with Spain being top. Along with unemployment comes all the social problems, places going down hill, robbery, vandalism etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
