791 776. The First Demonstration (2/5)

Chapter 791 776. The First Demonstration (25)

Because of the arrival of "National Geographic", Lao Wang was always in a beautiful mood when he went to work.

But slowly, his mood became less beautiful, because he found some people appeared in front of the government. At first he didn't care, but after a while, more and more people even blocked the road.

Unfortunately, he found these people holding signs and banners - definitely to demonstrate.

New Zealanders like to protest, protests when house prices go up because people pay too much for their homes, and protests when house prices go down because homeowners think they are being robbed of their money.

Lao Wang often saw mass demonstrations in big cities such as Oakley, Wellington, and Christchurch on the news. He did not expect such a thing to happen in Sunset Town.

The government office staff had already been alarmed, and a group of people stood at the door to watch.

Old Wang walked out displeased and asked, "What is this for?"

"They are demonstrating." Kidd said, then took out a pair of sunglasses, wiped them, and put them on his head.

The old man is so angry, I don't know that this is a demonstration? "I'll ask you again why!"

"Look at their demonstrations." Atulu said.

Wang Bo: "..."

Someone blocked the gate of the government with a banner saying: Faith has collapsed and dreams have been shattered.

"What's the matter with riding a horse?" Old Wang scolded, "Give it to me and see what's going on. Damn it, isn't this nonsense?"

Hani grinned and said, "Boss, you'd better think about it. Have you ever embezzled public funds? Have you molested the big girls in the town? Have you been domineering? They are here to oppose you."

Lao Wang really thinks about this seriously. The demonstrations against the ruling team are terrible, and his approval rate will be affected in future elections.

But he has never done these things. Since becoming mayor, he has been absolutely conscientious and meticulous. If New Zealand wants to vote for the most serious mayor, he will definitely give himself a vote.

There were more and more people gathered, and when he saw the faces of domestic tourists, he immediately felt a pain in the ass, so he hurried down to ask what was going on.

He walked to the door, and someone gestured to him holding a sign, which read: What can I do to save you and my New Zealand...

A domestic tourist asked: "Why are these foreigners wearing sunglasses? Do all demonstrations in New Zealand wear sunglasses?"

Someone said: "Maybe they think it's cool to wear sunglasses."

"It's not cool, it may be uniform and easy to identify."

Chen Luoxian explained: "No, haven't you noticed? Caucasians usually wear sunglasses on the road. This is because the pigment in their eyes is relatively light, unlike the darker pigment of Asians, so their eyes are transparent. The rate is higher, and they are more sensitive to the stimulation of strong light, so they need to wear sunglasses to protect their eyes."

Although the previous enemy was now, Lao Wang still gave her a thumbs up. This answer is correct.

Anderson was also demonstrating with his daughter on his shoulders. Lao Wang waved to him and shouted, "What's going on?"

The supermarket CEO shrugged: "It has nothing to do with you, boss, we are demonstrating against the price increase of national public transportation, these moths!"

"What's going on? You are protesting in the town for the price increase of public transportation?" Old Wang felt a faint pain in his breast again. His clever mind, who was able to pass the 211 and 985, couldn't figure out the connection between the two things.

He knew about the recent price increase of public transport in the country, that is, the New Zealand Transport Authority decided to increase the price of public transport in New Zealand every year after statistics and research.

The fare increase started on the third Monday in September, and all public transport in Auckland, including trains, buses and ferries, began to adjust the price.

To be more specific, the price adjustment this time is very strong. If you use cash to buy train tickets, train tickets, or boat tickets, it will be about 20% more expensive than before.

The Traffic Management Bureau has explained the reason for this. The phenomenon of waste caused by excess traffic resources in New Zealand has always existed, which is to make up for the loss of traffic expenses.

But what does this have to do with the town? The town doesn't have its own shuttle bus yet!

So Pharaoh waved to Atulu, Atulu thought he was letting himself out to drive away the crowd, he also put on sunglasses, then rolled up his sleeves and rushed out to push the crowd with bully steps, shouting: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you free? Go back, everyone go home..."

Lao Wang grabbed him and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you tell me to drive away the crowd?" the big Maori said aggrievedly.

Old Wang scolded: "Fake, your brain is full of honey?! I asked you to come over and tell you, get me a megaphone!"

Atulu did this to seek death, the townspeople knew him too well, and immediately, people around him came up to besiege him:

"What do you want to do? There is God in the head, do you want violent law enforcement?"

"Take a picture and post it online to make this guy famous!"

"Maori aside! Farke, you're bigger moths than politicians!"

All of a sudden, the crowd was excited.

Seeing this, Atulu fled in despair, walking further and further on the road of softness.

When he did it just now, Lao Wang knew that things were going to be troublesome, and the social conflicts in New Zealand, especially the social conflicts, were moderate and sharp.

The reason why this contradiction is eased is because the government’s protection and preferential treatment for the indigenous Maori people is different. For example, language, Maori is the official language of New Zealand just like English.

Another example is education. New Zealand’s education system is lenient to Māori. If Māori want to study for a master’s degree, the government will provide it for free, and also provide high scholarships. But Maori generally don't read it, because it is too tiring to take the postgraduate entrance examination and postgraduate study...

There is no doubt that in the early days of New Zealand's history, the white European colonists used deceit and coercion by force to seize the land and property of the Maori.

But in this regard, the white people who came to New Zealand are much better than those who landed on the American land. The American Indians were slaughtered, their children and grandchildren were destroyed, and their culture was destroyed. The white government of New Zealand at least signed the "Treaty of Waitangi" to protect them. Maori and Maori culture.

The reason why the conflict between the two parties is very sharp is that whites and immigrants of other races are very dissatisfied with the extra benefits enjoyed by Maori. Take this issue of public transportation fare increase, if it is Maori, it is still Regular price tickets can be purchased.

In this way, how can white, black and yellow people be willing?

Atulu angered the demonstrators, but Lao Wang was happy because he finally had a chance to fight back.

That is the racial red line.

Western society has its own rules of the game, and some bottom lines cannot be crossed, otherwise it is a representative of uncivilized, barbaric and ignorant.

Racism is the worst kind.
