Good evening to you all,
Montebourg The report, I note first that the confidentiality no longer exists in our society and media transparent. This document originally internal quickly became public. In politics, the only secrets we can now keep are those who have absolutely no importance and interest to anyone. But is not that better? Democracy Is not the enemy of the opacity?
I never shared the sensitivity of Arnaud, white knight slayer of the wicked. I do not like the characters vigilante except the movies. But I agree it is good from time to time as Zorro comes kicking the buttocks of a Sergeant Garcia, even the Socialist Party. Because the charges are serious: corruption, cronyism, fraud, we can not accept that, precisely because we are socialists, Republicans, that we have some public policy ethics.
But I would not leave my party is embroiled in a controversy disastrous and unfair to tarnish his image and that of politics in general. That is why I would bring six details :
1 - dishonest practices affect only small part of us, except in a manner that confirms the rule. The PS was not ashamed of what he is not submitting to the lessons of virtue.
2 - Once there somewhere men, power and money, there are temptations. This is not unique to the Socialist Party is in human nature . And socialists in general, there are more resilient than many other media.
3 - These malpractices are very old (which does absolutely no excuse but to explain them), kinds of traditions on which it has long condoned, accepted and maintained because it was for a good cause.
4 - Society has changed in recent years, public opinion has become more demanding in terms of public morality , and I am delighted. The degree of tolerance has significantly decreased and no longer supports these remnants of corruption.
5 - must distinguish carefully what is the illegality of the crime and what comes out of political cynicism: the first should be left solely to the Justice, the latter must be cleared by the Party in promptly.
6 - Michel Rocard in his time, Martine Aubry today have begun to moralize Socialist Party , we must support this inevitable reform. If the ratio of Arnaud Montebourg us forward in this direction, with the precautions I have just issued, it will be a great thing for all of us and it will strengthen democracy within our Party.
Good evening.
