Good evening to you all,
is to be expected: after the passage of DSK to Paris this weekend, some magazines devoted to it their a including Paris-Match (I have not read) and L'Express . Coverage does not doubt her presidential ambitions: it shows a Strauss arms folded, at once calm and determined (see thumbnail). Inside, however, the record is not very Folichon: nothing we do know already when following the news about politics. I still noticed two interesting information:
1 - A box stating that the resignation of IMF Managing Director for political reasons is not new. There was a precedent with Germany Horst Köhler in 2004, here since 2000 but forced to leave after being named presidential candidate of the Federal Republic of Germany by the Christian Democrats and the Liberals.
2 - A paper on DSK and 35 hours, which are known to still arouse controversy. Their authorship is often attributed, wrongly, Martine Aubry, who merely applied, as Minister of Labour, a measure that was proposed by DSK Jospin for his legislative program for 1997 (as was was also, for the same DSK, the youth employment). Except that Strauss could not understand at all the 35 hours as they were finally implemented: far from wanting to reform central and binding, he advocated an adaptation by jobs, industries and firms, not excluding the use of overtime, encouraging a gradual rapprochement between actual length and legal duration of working time.
I'm not going to make history retrospectively, but obviously it would have been wise to follow the pragmatic advice of DSK (the pragmatism is a feature of his thought, like any large political thought). We lost in 2002, shamefully beaten by the extreme right, partly because of 35 hours, which caused widespread discontent while the reform was initially popular, she paradoxically remained still ( no employee wishes that removes its RTT!). We know that in some areas, eg hospital, the 35 hours are very poorly placed.
Here, buy and read this issue of The Express if you want, but do not expect any revelations.
Good evening.
