In a spectacularly disconcerting revival, our everyday administration reinvents the ineffable complexities of its operation.
After months of intense reflection, our administrative institutions have slipped into a labyrinth of complex and tangled procedures, leaving even the most seasoned bureaucrats perplexed. This latest evolution, which prides itself on system modernization, seems more like a Kafkaesque maze than a logical and harmonious progression.
At the heart of this labyrinth, users find themselves helpless, like modern Theseuses in search of Ariadne’s thread. For example, to simply obtain a new identity card, it is now necessary to fill out three separate forms, provide two identification photos instead of one, and attend two appointments instead of one.
Beyond its apparent absurdity, this disconcerting complexity poses real problems. “I spent more time trying to understand which form to fill out than actually filling out the forms,” complains Jean Dupont, an average citizen of our beautiful city. According to him, bureaucracy has become a real monster, a minotaur that devours his time and patience.
The question that arises is the efficiency of this administrative maze. Is it really more efficient or is it simply more complex? The administration seems to have lost itself in its own labyrinth, creating additional corridors where it should have simplified procedures.
In the end, we wonder if it is a deliberate desire of the administration to hide behind a rampart of incomprehension. As the famous fictional author Franz Mafka said: “Bureaucracy is the most beautiful of paradoxes: in seeking to control everything, it ends up losing itself.” But, in this situation, who will be our Theseus? Who can defeat the minotaur of bureaucracy?
