"The people of Provence in the south of France have a word for a particularly comic or bizarrely dramatic situation: pagnolesque.
It is a tribute to one of the region’s most famous sons, the author Marcel Pagnol, who declared in his play Les Marchands de Gloire (The Glory Merchants): “In politics everything is a comedy.”
Last week in fine pagnolesque fashion the Provençal capital of Marseille, France’s oldest and second most populous city, took its historical rivalry with Paris – these days most often played out on the football pitch between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille – to a new level."
p.s. ... amióta világ a világ mindig van, aki megmondja, hogy mit kell tennie az emberiségnek különleges helyzetekben, ebben az esetben Marseille városát emelte ki a The Guardian hírforrása...
