Katie: What is your assessment of the strike yesterday? What are the possible consequences / desirable to you? Benoît Hamon
: It is a success for the unions who planned this event for several weeks.
is then an alarm signal to the government, it would be well advised to hear, because there had been many warnings beforehand, he had not heard. What action? Mr Sarkozy is doing by inviting the unions to discuss a date that was already planned since appointment was terminated with partners social.
I think the only answer that can help to renew the dialogue focuses on the purchasing power of salaries, minimum benefits, pensions, and everything that can immediately improve the purchasing power of the French .
RASHID: How do you respond to the argument that a revival in consumption would be ineffective since it would only encourage imports?
I do not know where we were fishing when the French were buying, they consumed only foreign products, whereas today 75% of goods and services consumed by the French products or services produced in France.
is an argument of the UMP to justify his refusal to lower VAT. But it is an economic argument inadmissible under what the structure of the French household consumption.
add that support the purchasing power of French is a greater consumption is fill backlog of business, and thus eventually create jobs.
Lolo: How the PS has he done to influence the reforms?
The PS has released its plan to revive the economy. Our proposals are on the table. And I note that on recovery of purchasing power, employment, as the fight against unfair dismissal, our proposals converge with several platforms union. This explains the transition that was perfectly legitimate for the Socialists show yesterday.
That said, the ball is in the hands of the government: either it continues to entrench themselves within the walls of the Elysee Matignon and, deaf to the discontent of the French, and obstinate to implement a policy that ad'ores already failed, or it allows democracy to breathe and open to proposals from the opposition and trade unions, which called necessarily a serious challenge to political choices implemented so far.
Schwab: Do you think it would be possible, as envisaged by Gaetan Gorce, negotiate with the majority a number of measures inspired by the cons-recovery plan?
We are in institutions today referring facing opposition and majority. For there to be a compromise on the response to the crisis would still have it that we agree on the diagnosis of this crisis.
Is it a systemic crisis (structural) or an economic crisis? The function of stimulus Is it to put financial markets on foot or deeply the playing system? Do we want, yes or no major changes in the distribution between capital and labor? Etc..
It does not seem today that the government and the president have realized that we are facing a real reversal of the cycle and that their recovery plan should not try to save the system as it was It should help prepare the future and build the necessary new regulations.
That's why I think the possibility extremely difficult to achieve response to the crisis. We do not see the same thing. We do not want the same thing.
Patrick: How would you reform the colleges and universities if you were in power?
First, we offer first aid in our recovery plan is to stop the social affects of Education today claiming that improve quality by reducing the number of adults in schools, colleges and high schools in France.
I think education is still, despite all the statements, a matter of resources. And today, obviously, these means are insufficient.
Then I think we should fight at all costs against the policy of strengthening the educational ghettos implemented today by the current government, the abolition of school mapping reinforce social segregation and school segregation.
Finally, I believe that today the government has registered for the University in the same logic as for hospital profitability, and that policy seems harmful.
yannick: The European elections are the next political. Can they become the main outlet policy in the current financial crisis and the PS can capitalize on the discontent?
Obviously, when these European elections will take place probably lead to a multitude of Europeans say their vote what kind of crisis they want.
First, because the European level is the appropriate level to respond to a crisis of this intensity and magnitude.
And secondly, because the right-wing majority, the Council as the European Parliament, is directly responsible for the conditions under which the crisis has unfolded in Europe.
Liberalization excessive internal market, the dismantling of public services, weakening social patterns across Europe are not the result of the financial crisis, but economic and political choices implemented by the straight majority in Europe decade.
Accordingly, we will, we in the European election, the stakes of a crucial political battle. Is it possible or not to change the majority in Europe, and therefore policy? We argue for a leftist majority in Parliament, and thus a political one.
Isabella: Will you be yourself a candidate for European Ile-de-France?
I wish to stand for Europe. Ile-de-France. Instead, my party will best.
Lucy: Do you think that Segolene Royal is an element of "too"? PS how he welcomes the publication of his book?
Laurent Fabius had an excellent form this morning on France-Inter, I wish to endorse: "Yesterday was day strike, well today we begin the strike controversy." So I do not want to comment on some remarks somewhat acidic Segolene Royal against other senior Socialist Party.
ago today too many reasons to look to the French that we stopped our attention to ourselves.
Franck, Quimper: PS Is not "sentenced" to forge alliances with the modem, the Greens, the NPA, the Left Party ...?
is a subject much easier than it seems.
1) We can not ally ourselves with those who would one day govern us.
2) We can not ally ourselves with those whose policies do not contradict ours.
And this question of alliances, which would arise probably from the regional, but especially in national elections, should be assessed only in terms of the draft policy and strategy of social transformation that will defend the Socialist Party, and the degree of compatibility of each other over this project.
To me, gathering and unity of the Left remains the best vehicle to one day defeat the right and Sarkozy.
GENIFER: Will you attend the meeting of the Left Party and the NPA? What do you think of the first steps of the party Mélenchon?
I do not think we've been invited to the congress of the NPA. We been invited to the congress of the Left Party, which obviously we will send a delegation of the Socialist Party national secretariat. As the first steps of the Left Party, it looks like that was Jean-Luc Melenchon in the PS.
But I am not convinced that creating a new party left seriously used the gathering of the Left. It seems to me that there is still a little paradox.
Bakunin: Are you a socialist or social democrat?
is a distinction that does not exist. The French Socialists are members of the European social democratic family. And it exists in this family between the British Labour Party, the Social Democrats in Germany, Swedish, English Socialists, the Hungarian Socialists, a range of grades related to their national history, their institutions, history of social struggles in each of these countries, which explains today that as a French socialist, I feel a member of the European social democratic family without necessarily share all the tests.
Sankha: Do you think the high profile of Obama in the U.S. may be conducive to the image of the left?
Yes, because it undoubtedly belongs to the same family that we in the U.S. about nuances. These grades are awesome, especially on the death penalty, they also exist on the role of the state.
But when Barack Obama closes Guantanamo, broke with the neoconservative discourse of the clash of civilizations advocated by MM. Bush and Sarkozy to address the Muslim world as a partner of the United States, when he denounced the American employers who have provided 14 billion dollars in bonuses in 2008 describing their attitude height of irresponsibility, or when Today it determines state aid to American companies to maintain employment, it is part of a tradition which is that of the left.
Bakunin: The Socialists can they still dream when we measure what they did and what they have done?
There is a sentence in a Cuban poet, Nicolas Guillen, who said something like: hope, I leave for the rich, give me security. What I mean by that is that today the responses of the left should be oriented towards the practical problems of the French, wages, debt, housing, access to education, utilities.
is first on reality that we must act. If hope is born of this action is great, but our obsession to be first to be useful.
