The article discusses the paradox of European prosperity amidst urban unrest and the limitations of the welfare model. It highlights how the current social contract in Western Europe is failing, leading to violence and disorder in cities like Paris and Milan. The author argues that despite significant social spending, the reality shows a disconnect between state generosity and societal stability. The unrest is largely driven by a younger generation detached from traditional social movements, demanding unconditional subsidies. This situation poses a security vulnerability for Europe, especially in the context of geopolitical tensions with Russia and China, which exploit the chaos to undermine Western democracies.
