The Exclusion of the People.

Across Europe, democracies are grappling with a deepening dilemma:

Should political extremes be tamed through the sobering weight of responsibility - or held at bay through exclusion?

For decades, countries like France and Germany leaned on cordons sanitaires, Brandmauern, and broad centrist coalitions to shield power from populist forces.

The reasoning was clear and, in many ways, defensible. Yet the strategy carried a hidden cost.

When sizable segments of voters are kept permanently on the outside, they eventually begin to see politics as little more than theatre: parties rail against one another on the campaign trail, only to govern together once the votes are counted. That spectacle erodes trust and quietly undermines legitimacy.

Denmark has long taken a different path. The guiding belief has been that parties tend to moderate when entrusted with real power - when they are forced to set priorities, negotiate, and face the unyielding constraints of reality.

This approach has never been risk-free. Responsibility does not guarantee moderation. But there is an equal danger in permanently shutting large political movements out of influence.

Democracies rest not only on stability, but on the deeper conviction among citizens that they still belong to the political community - even when their views unsettle the establishment.

- the essence of my latest piece in Weekendavisen.

Qques réflexions sur le modèle danois de lutte contre le #HarcelementScolaire, qui semble avoir la cote en France en ce moment. Il est notamment beaucoup fait allusion aux fameux "cours d'empathie". Rappelons d'abord que ce n'est qu'un élément parmi de nombreux autres ...1/

1/ L’annonce de ma non-candidature aux européennes de 2024 suscite quelques commentaires (généralement bienveillants,merci!) & questions. J’en avais modestement réservé la primeur aux fidèles sympathisants bressans, mais mettons définitivement, sereinement, les choses au clair 🧵
