EUROS

The French have growing reservations about the euro: 36% want to withdraw from the eurozone and go back to the franc, the old national currency; 4% have no opinion, which means that they don’t warmly support the single European currency; 44% say it is a handicap in the present context of a world economic crisis; 45% say it doesn’t serve the national interests of France; and a staggering 62% say it is damaging the average French family’s standards of living and purchasing power.

Some “realist” analysts dismiss these figures as mere panic. Just two months ago, only 26% of the French mentioned withdrawing from the eurozone. The most articulate “withdrawist” was Marine Le Pen, the leader of the far Right turned populist National Front. She advocated a planified restoration of the franc as the sovereign currency of France, complete with a 30% devaluation. But most people were then of the opinion that the core of the eurozone (Germany, France, the Netherlands) was safe, and that the relevant question was how to deal with the less significant and less efficient partners (essentially the southern tier of the European Union, from Greece to Portugal).

In the meantime, however, the core itself started to melt. There was talk, in particular, of stripping France’s triple A credit rating. Even Germany got nervous. Both the Paris and the Berlin cabinets envisioned drastic reforms of both the European Central Bank status and the European Union statutes. This, to say the least, was an admission that the present ones were not perfect.

Au lendemain de la création de l’euro, comme a l’extension immodérée de la communauté européenne, j’avais comparé la création de cette entité à la fable de la Fontaine:

« La grenouille qui voulait se faire aussi grosse que le bœuf »

Vous connaissez la fin de cette fable.

Ce qu’il fallait faire à cette époque

(Devant les périls des pays émergents qui ne respectent pas les mêmes obligations sociales, matérielles, sanitaires,)

Était une association de libre échange avec l’Amérique du nord (Usa et Canada)

Là était la bonne solution d’avenir.

Encore une fois les politiques quels qu’ils soient ont Faillis à leur devoirs.

On peut se faire concurrence c’est sain, mais il est idiot de se battre contre ses alliés naturel sinon tôt ou tard on se fait bouffer par ses ennemis (commerciaux)

Enfin ce n’est que mon avis
