1299 Who guides society?
"Something is not right..."
Before the court session, the lawyer and the president sat together. He tilted his head and said these words in the president's ear.
Just such a seemingly ordinary sentence made the president's bladder feel vaguely swollen.
He wants to go to the toilet.
"What's wrong?"
The lawyer put together the information he collected and expressed it in a simple way.
"There are people behind the scenes promoting these things now. You know, not all immigrants are poor, there are also some investment immigrants and scientific research immigrants."
Facing the lawyer's look that looked like he was mentally retarded, the president nodded and said, "Yes, I know."
The lawyer wanted to say, "Since you know you are still publishing articles like that, aren't you just looking for 'fun' for yourself?", but he did not say, but continued, "Some of these rich people saw the article you posted last year.
That article, then you understand.”
"Rich people don't care how much they spend, they only care about how good they feel. You mess up their mood for the whole day, and then someone spends money to promote these things."
The lawyer's mind was buzzing when he got further news last night. It is said that this article may also push Congress to establish a new proposal called the "Federal Unity Act."
If Congress really agrees, it means that a small person has led to the establishment of a social proposal, but then again, this is how many proposals are passed.
Some little people left themselves in the history books in a very special way.
"Then...what should we do now?" The president felt that his scalp was a little hot.
"I will try to excuse you, but you know, federal justice only exists on paper."
"Once public opinion is overwhelming, public opinion will boil..."
The lawyer stopped talking.
This kind of case is not unheard of. A wealthy man wanted to divorce his wife, but he was unwilling to pay the huge divorce litigation fees after dividing his huge property.
So during a trip, he pushed his wife into the lake, watched her sink, and then made a phone call.
Since there was no conclusive evidence to prove that this was a deliberate murder, and the legal fees paid for such a case were much less than divorce proceedings, he easily found a suitable legal team and was almost clear of his suspicions.
.
Subsequently, his wife's family released some materials to the public, triggering social discussion, and with the help of women's rights organizations...
Yes, it was Ms. Tracy who took the lead, and a demonstration called "Give Us the Truth" broke out.
In the end, the rich man was convicted of first-degree murder, and most of his property was used to compensate the family of the deceased.
And the reason why he was able to get in was because some people fabricated certain evidence to suit public opinion.
In this case, several politicians played a big role, and they are also regarded by some as politicians who represent public opinion and are willing to speak for the people.
This time... it may be the same to a large extent.
The court session was somewhat silent. After all, both parties presented evidence and defended themselves. The court did not pronounce the verdict in court. This was the worst result.
When leaving the court, some people threw eggs at him!
He is like those villains in countless social practices, only this time, the people watching the fun have become the people creating the fun.
While the president was deeply involved in the whirlpool of public opinion, Lynch had already met Mr. Douglas, who had returned from York State.
"I hope I didn't make you feel uncomfortable..."
Everyone has their own preferences.
Some people like to play golf. Even if a world war breaks out and the countries outside are crazy, they are still holding coffee or swinging clubs on the golf course.
There are also people who like to play bowling, and their level is very good, which is not a compliment, but their body is not getting stronger after playing bowling, but is actually a little weak.
But it’s not that people only like these two. Mr. Douglas likes fishing, so the place where they met this time was a high-end fishing spot on the outskirts of Bupen.
As long as there is a need, there is a place in this society to satisfy the need, from the simplest carnal desires to... fishing.
When Lynch came, he also passed a lumberyard, but this lumberyard did not cut down the wood into firewood and sell it to those in need.
Instead, it provides a place for rich people to cut firewood with their own hands and hold barbecue parties. In the eyes of many people, this is a sign that rich people have brain problems, but in fact they don’t know that for rich people, as long as
If you are happy, nothing else matters.
The two of them were sitting on the plank road by the lake. Lynch didn't have a fishing rod in his hand. He didn't like that kind of time-wasting activity.
Mr. Douglas had just caught a big fish, and he hit the fish hard on the head with a hammer.
The fish that was still struggling stopped struggling in an instant. The fish's mouth was bleeding and it looked a bit scary.
This kind of scene may be really shocking to some people, but Lynch is not one of them.
"No, don't worry about me, it's just a fish..."
Mr. Douglas was stunned for a moment and then reacted randomly. He smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's just a fish!"
He tidied up, took off his special coat, and walked around the lake with Lynch.
As he turned around, he said, "It's easy to offend people in my job. Sometimes I know I shouldn't do that, and I shouldn't make those people stand down, but you know, this is my job."
Lynch nodded. This is the value of the party whip. He is like a civilized whip in the hand of the committee chairman.
It won't kill anyone, and it can make people feel pain in both body and mind at the same time.
Basically no one likes to be friends with the whip of the ruling party, even though they may have been very close friends before, but when this party comes to power, everything changes.
The two of them continued walking. It was very quiet here and there was no one else.
"I rarely see you in the building, Lynch. You should go for a walk sometimes."
"I know you don't like to hang out with those people, and neither do I, but we are all part of the Progressive Party, and we have fulfilled our obligations, so it is very necessary for us to enjoy our rights."
There was something in Mr. Douglas's words, but he didn't say it too clearly. Some things were said too clearly, and they were meaningless.
"The leader has not been in the building for a long time recently, and we all have some speculations. Maybe you will have the opportunity to exercise your rights soon."
The building he mentioned actually refers to the headquarters of the Progressive Party, which is the office building. Many elderly people like to call it a building. In fact, it is not very high.
But its political status cannot be easily shaken by any person or organization.
Lynch echoed twice, and then Mr. Douglas looked at Lynch with a half-smile, "The Charter gives us all the right to vote. If we don't use it, it will have a very bad negative impact on others."
"Even if we abstain from voting, this is our attitude towards the right to vote, and we will not be perfunctory!"
After saying that, he looked towards the hut not far away, "Fish is easy to cook, maybe they have already prepared our fish..."
The two started to look back, and Lin Qi roughly understood what he meant.
He is looking for supporters on the committee. Lynch is also a member of the Progressive Party and has a large say.
He may not have any obvious political performance, but everyone knows that his attitude cannot be ignored.
On the way back, Lynch asked a very crucial question, "Mr. Douglas, who do you think is the most suitable person in our party to succeed the leader?"
More smiles appeared on Mr. Douglas's face. He had always been afraid that Lynch wouldn't understand what he was talking about, but now it seemed that he shouldn't be so worried.
"My original intention was to put Mr. Chairman in that position, but now the committee cannot do without him. Ghosn from the Development Office is a good candidate."
"He has maintained good relationships with most party members, has a wide network of contacts, and is of a suitable age."
"Of course some people think... the lady is good, but the first female leader in the history of the Progressive Party..." Mr. Douglas smiled and did not continue.
He had conveyed enough information, and Lynch did not continue to ask.
And their conversation this time can also be seen as the party whip’s encouragement and education to young progressives who are not enthusiastic about party development!
Rich food and a chef who paid thousands of dollars a month allowed the two of them to taste rare delicacies.
As he was about to leave, Mr. Douglas mentioned some things that were happening in the next state.
"Our attitude towards immigrants has always been neutral. I know some things have happened recently, which are very bad. I will keep an eye on them!"
This was not a reward, but a gesture. After watching Mr. Douglas leave, Lynch lit a cigarette.
The change of power within the Progressive Party is about to begin, which also means that an invisible and bloody war is about to break out!
Over the weekend, the wave of public opinion in the neighboring state has reached Bupen. As the core of this country, when something triggers heated discussions in Bupen, it means that people across the country will know about it.
A quarter of the immigrants in the Federation, and of course various ethnic minorities, are now being slapped on the head inexplicably. These people will definitely not be able to sit still.
Some minority politicians began to jump up and down, as if they were the ones being humiliated by the article. This also forced the entire society to face up to this problem - discrimination against immigrants and ethnic minorities!
From factories to society, this kind of discrimination is everywhere and has existed for many years.
It's just that no one expected that this topic, which has always been unwilling to be mentioned, would actually break out in this way at this time.
