I was focussing on the subject of enclaves starting to pop up in nearly every bigger city and the situation with not well integrated immigrants in general, as well as the lack of honest and responsible governing concerning these issues.
Concerning the economy:
The moment Asian markets (especially China of course) start to lose their drive we're in a very bad situation. Obviously we're in a better position than France but we depend on others as well and one might come to the conclusion that not even the U.S. depend on Asian markets as much as we do. Our current situation might be "OK" but according to the most recent numbers we're going to loose drive again soon. In case the Chinese economy "implodes" the French will actually have a better chance of making it through such a crisis.
But as I've stated I was mostly referring to PRB’s remarks concerning the enclaves and the overall political situation.
In case this didn’t come out clear enough- apologies.
