Sylvie Goulard « France must set aside the spirit of Asterix »
Posted by in Comité de pilotage | News
Financial Times, by Sylvie Goulard (19.04.2012).
Cette publication du 19.04 parru dans le Financial Times se situe dans une perspective plus large l’absence tragique d’engagement européen durant la campagne pour l’élection présidentielle en France : le souverainisme, le nationalisme aussi puissants dans d’autres Etats membres qu’en France, n’apportent pas de solutions aux problèmes actuels.
Apparently, there’s nothing new in the French presidential election campaign. The agenda is driven by French obsessions: like Asterix’s village against the Roman Empire, France will “hold out alone” against globalisation and foreign influence. On the right, immigrants are blamed for problems. On the left, the markets and the Anglo-Saxons are the enemy. For both sides, the state has to be strong, to take strategic economic decisions through a politique industrielle.
