BURNT OUT, OUTRAGED, ANGRY: YOU CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF. This book was born out of weariness. Not fleeting anger, but the chronic exhaustion of a country that functions on the basis of Band-Aid solutions, slogans, and silences. A country full of exhausted citizens who have learned to keep quiet so as not to complicate their lives. And also, as is the case now, to vote without really knowing who to cast their vote for. Here we speak of those who are truly burned out: those who pay and receive nothing, those who wait and never arrive, those who fulfill their duties and are ignored. The exploited self-employed, the young people without housing or prospects, the elderly who have been cast aside, the forgotten villages, the overworked professionals, the citizens who no longer protest because they have accepted that it is useless. This is not a book against one party or in favor of another, but it is critical of them all. It is an uncomfortable portrait of a weary democracy, managed by elites who protect one another while the majority resigns itself to the status quo. A country where bureaucracy humiliates, politics is dramatized, inequality is normalized, and mediocrity is rewarded. Where much is legislated and little is resolved. The author, a veteran journalist and writer, writes from personal experience, but points to something collective: a society burned out by neglect, by a lack of accountability, and by the gradual surrender of the will to demand. Because the system's greatest triumph is not corruption or abuse, but apathy. This book asks for no permission and offers no consolation. It points out, unsettles, and asks: How long? How far? And in exchange for what? And it advises: We must protest more; we must never throw in the towel. A book for the weary. For the outraged. For the skeptics. For those who haven't given up yet, but are beginning to wonder how much longer they can endure. For those who don't know who to vote for, or who do know but hold their noses.
