According to glavcom.ua: What to do when you are annoyed by the level of activity in parliament? Send condoms, of course! That's exactly what a man did on September 11, sending a peak package to the address of the National Assembly of France. His inspiration was the French comedian Kolyush, who is already famous for his actions.

«The level of the Assembly is falling more and more with each legislative election; now we are not just at ground level – we are in a ditch,» noted Pierre Giro, who performs under the pseudonym «Pierrot le Zigo.»

The Frenchman also explained that his actions were aimed at drawing public attention to the low quality of the deputies' work, the fights, and insults that prevail in parliamentary discussions, complicating the resolution of complex issues.

Actions and Reactions

The Parisian 'preservation of the last gasps of socialism' was not the last action of this engaged activist. As a result of a previous act, one of the largest strikes in the history of France took place, becoming a large-scale protest against reforms. Thus, spicy protests can reflect important public sentiments and have a significant impact on the political situation in the country.
