Gérard Collomb, France’s Interior Minister until last month and currently Mayor of Lyon, is apparently pessimistic about the situation in his country. People do not want to live together,» Collomb lamented. Collomb also warned that there is only a «little time» to improve the situation. «It’s difficult to estimate but I would say that in five years the situation could become irreversible. Yes, we have five, six years to avoid the worst,» he added.
