Educational Reform.

17: Nazi disguise. One of your closest collaborators was spotted at a foam party dressed as an SS officer. Let's just say it didn't go over well. You lose a trick card by stammering out an apology. If you're playing as the National Front, this square has no effect, unless you exclaim " What do you mean, a disguise? " in which case, you can't mess around, you'll lose that trick card too.
A major educational reform is proposed. Dozens of demonstrations ensue, until the majority, rather than openly backing down, " modifies the project " into some sort of tiny, rotten thing just to say it passed anyway. If you're the player who embodies the majority, win a trick card, because seriously, you do it every time and no one seems to notice.
19: Hotel Case. You spend a night in a hotel. Lose your next turn in an epic trial special lead during which you explain that you thought that naked young person gyrating above you was actually a communications consultant. In some cases, this is true; but to differentiate, it's simple: the person who pays for the coke you snort around their nipples is indeed a communications consultant. The one who can't afford it is the one who works the other job.
20: BFM TV case. We're interested in you and we let you say whatever you want without contradicting you, it's great! Draw a trick card. Unless you're from the National Front, in which case you draw two since you have twice as much airtime as anyone else. But still scream about censorship, eh!
21: Contested development project. A new dam, airport, or whatever project is launched. Immediately, the construction zone is infested with minivans and C15s loaded with banners, djembes, but apparently no soap. Demonstrations break out, police are sent, and everything is paralyzed. If you are the majority, lose a money card and a pipe card. Otherwise, draw a pipe card by joining the protesters or the police, whichever you prefer.
