Hello to you all,
The government reshuffle announced yesterday calls for no special comment, as is the continuity will prevail. However, the resignation of Foreign Minister inspires some general remarks about the practice of resignation policy, which are not addressed specifically in this case:
1 - Quitting is not in itself a glorious act. This is a sign of failure, evidence of misconduct. "The spirit of resignation" is an attitude of criticism: the renunciation of its mission, de-mission. It is therefore regrettable, unfortunate that happened. Ideally, a politician who does what he ought not to resign: he assumes . Resign is to escape and surrender. Especially, the face of difficulties, it should accomplish its task to the end, especially when it is a mandate from the people.
2 - There are those who resign and those calling for the resignation. I do not recognize myself more in some than in others. Wishing for someone's resignation is to reduce the political a personal matter, which I never do: because the men go but the line may well remain, which does not change anything to the problem. In the request for resignation, there is a logic of scapegoat, sacrifice, exorcism that does not please me. As if a sufficient departure ...
3 - But resignation is not worthless, it is even contrary to the virtuous when she translated a personal awareness, sense of fault, the consequence of responsibility. "Taking on so" as they say, and draw conclusions. This attitude exists only in rare situations particularly serious. It still does not feel guilty and go to the slightest mistake, life is to make mistakes, except for those that do absolutely nothing!
4 - In French politics there is an inaccuracy and hypocrisy to talk of resignation when it is actually a dismissal. Michèle Alliot-Marie has not resigned, is Nicolas Sarkozy who has resigned , and that changes everything. The minister said even she did nothing wrong, and this is indeed the most shocking: she does not understand what the President has explained yesterday, image deplorable political given these days, even if morally or psychologically Alliot-Marie is certainly not the feeling of having done wrong. That's what I regularly responds to comments from this blog: in politics must do politics , not morality or psychology.
Good day politics.
