By Jean-Paul Pougala – “Democracy is in no country in the world and has never existed. Each country according to its own history and to the level of arousal or innocence of its people they invent their own model. The countries that call themselves democratic know how to lie and lie to convince their people that they would be better off the planet, better flexibility to subdue and silence more and more.
