Comment: The ultimate sacrifice
Numerous Plagues have already fallen on France in. What needs to happen so that the country gets back on its feet? There can be only one solution, says Max Hofmann.
What God expects from France? He sends plague to plague, as in the 13. Century before Christ. At that time, the ancient Egyptians were the victims. You had to be mosquitoes, hail and black scroll stand, until the Pharaoh relented, finally, and the enslaved people of Israel go. Now he has to send Russian football Hooligans to Marseille, the historical floods to Paris and the French DJ David Guetta for the opening ceremony of the Euro 2016.
Seriously: France has not been easy. On the left of the Communist believes, assessed trade Union, the CGT, as before, in 1968, and rebelled against the labour-market-mini-reform of the government.
Infernos everywhere. Whether the Hooligans, or the strikes of the CGT
The right Populist Marine Le Pen is happy about a migration crisis, a possible Brexit and meager economic data, all of which drives more and more voters. And as if that were not enough, the fear of Islamist Terror about everything. The latest incident in Magna Ville, near Paris, shows once again, unfortunately, The fear is justified.
There is so much to love about France: the wines of Saint-Émilion, the ground of the mountain ranges of the Pyrenees, the Vastness of the Louvre Museum. The amiable rebelliousness, the Metro in Paris (when not on strike), the Cannes film festival. High-speed trains, the Tour de France, the extinct volcanoes of the Auvergne. Liberalism, the spring days in Toulouse, the color of the Mediterranean in Marseille. What happens to the time, this actually deserves a great country.
So what needs to happen to make it better? What is it exactly that God expects, that he will send no further Plagues?

Most of France’s problems can only be removed in the longer term, this is known. Islamism is deeply rooted and has eaten over the decades in some Parts of the society. The structural economic problems in France, if at all, only in mini-steps to solve. Too big the resistance is. And against David Guetta no herb is grown.
The French still need something to lift the mood. Drunken Hooligans to devastate urban centres is certainly not the right remedy. France needs a Energy Drink, a vitamin shot, people need something that gives you Confidence for the first step in a difficult future. President Francois Hollande could occur, for example, that would amuse a majority of the French probably something in the short term. But life also brings nothing.
No, there can be only one solution. If the Europeans mean it really seriously with solidarity, then you need to attack France, now under the arms. Not with money, or great Speeches, or white wine deliveries from the river Moselle. No, it has to be something that digs into the Psyche of the French people.
Those were the days: 2000 Zinedine Zidane took the European Cup for France.
Remonter le moral, courage! Dear soccer fans in Europe, you have to be very strong, it is time to bring the ultimate sacrifice.
France let the European championship in the own country win!
That’s what God expects of Europe. Only then he will stop the plague series. And if not, then everything is much worse: darkness on the Côte d’azur, cattle plague in Brittany and Nude photos of Gérard Depardieu.
