“With Evo Morales another world is possible”

by Eddy Fougier

17 January 2006

Evo Morales’ election as president of Bolivia is an important event due the number of votes garnered by the new president since the first round, the situation of the country that is just coming out of the “second oil war” and the Amerindian origin of the winner. He was the spokesman for (…)

“Sarkozy, don’t beg for us!”

by Caroline Fourest

16 December 2005

Nicolas Sarkozy created the commission to formulate proposals in order to “touch up” the law of 1905 about the separation of the Church and State. Actually, despite his reassuring words, the Minister of the Interior wanted to question the spirit of this law, the article 2: “The Republic does not (…)

“The Ills of the Mediterranean”

by Sami Naïr

14 December 2005

Despite its importance, the Mediterranean increasingly gives the impression of being a poor relative of Europe. There is a net dividing line between the North and the South, but over the past 25 years, Europe has kept a negative attitude of rejection and that could only be explained by the lack (…)

“The failed Turkish meeting”

by Pierre Lellouche

11 November 2005

Negotiations for the inclusion of Turkey in the European Union, scheduled for October 3, have a double existential problem. For Turkey, it’s about its European vocation; for the member states, it’s about our values and our borders. The hidden opening of a process that almost automatically leads, (…)

“Turkey: bad excuses”

by Semih Vaner

11 November 2005

In a letter addressed to the President of the French Republic, 49 UMP deputies expressed their “aversion” to the Turkish inclusion. The word used says much more about us than about the targeted ones. The long history of relations between Turkey and the European Union can not be reduced to (…)

“Fictitious agreement in Korea”

by Thérèse Delpech

26 October 2005

In a fictitious international environment where good news are scarce, the joint statement issued by the six countries assembled at the negotiating table in Beijing on September 19 resulted an encouraging one; it included a comprehensive agenda to dismantle nuclear facilities in Pyongyang. This (…)

“Three challenges to achieve a fair world”

by Stéphane Hessel

23 September 2005

We should wonder about the meaning of the UN Summit and the commitments that could or should be made in it. The world has changed since the moment this organization was founded 60 years ago. On September 11 we were shocked by the extremely irrational attack targeted against the heart of what we (…)

“Europe: The Balkans’ Blues”

by Ferit Hoxha

29 June 2005

Since the last May 1st, 2004 expansion, everyone in the EU is still asking himself about the European borders. Everybody is giving his/her opinion in this regard. However, so far nobody has questioned the European membership of the Balkan states or the European Southeast as we’d rather call it. (…)

“Thanks to You”

by Serge July

28 June 2005

Florence and Hussein were set free after 157 days in captivity. Their detention in Baghdad finished on Saturday, June 11th. Freedom has won and an immense joy ensued at the end of this never-ending wait. As all French journalists who, since 20 years ago, have been hostages of every world war, (…)

“A Future-Carrying No”

by Jean-Pierre Chevènement

17 June 2005

Valéry Giscard d’Estaing told that when he sent the ECT to Silvio Berlusconi, the latter used it to swat a fly and said “at least this Constitution was useful for something!” Today, this story takes all its meaning. Jacques Chirac once told me that that text was more a bylaw than a constitution. (…)

“A Master Piece of Masochism”

by Serge July

13 June 2005

On the occasion of the referendum, the leftist electorate has launched cries of fear, anguish and rage in front of the insanity that prevails in the world and the incompetence of those who has led us over the past two decades. Some leaders have taken advantage of the situation and, at the end, (…)

“A Plea to Central Europe”

by André Erdos, Georges Mink, Jan Tombinski, Jean-Pierre Pagé, Pavel Fischer , María Krasno-Horska

31 May 2005

The entry of Central European countries into the European Union caused fears in the fifteen countries of the union - especially France, for economic as well as political reasons. Today, one can observe that the much feared invasion of products from countries of the East didn’t take place, (…)

“A Dependent Europe or an Equal Europe”

by Justin Vaïsse

8 May 2005

The Constitutional Treaty must be judged by both its own merits and its chances of negotiating or not a better treaty with our 24 fellow members, but the position of non-European members, particularly the United States, must also be taken into account: that allows a better understanding, (…)
