Most French are not happy with how the debate unfolds on national identity. President Sarkozy and his advisers, who were constantly staring at the polls, may find that the "coup", launched at the approach of an election, becomes a very bad deal.
By entrusting Eric Besson, renegade Socialist, Minister of Immigration and particularly adventurous policy in the sense - the least elegant of the term - the task of orchestrating this operation, the French president, so they can qualify for cryptic immediately set the debate. The national identity of France would be in question because of the presence on its territory to "foreign" irreducible, Arabs, blacks and Muslims.
The debate, orchestrated in the prefectures, is not philosophical. Consensus is the invective of "not really French," In-integrable by definition ... That's the old fund trade of the "national right" Petain and Le Pen, intellectually at odds with the Gaullist right, we decided to highlight in a context of economic and social crisis. The "spin doctors" Sarkozy's claim to open a debate "popular" in order not to leave the field open for Le Pen.
In fact, they caused a general tension in French society and reopened to Le Pen a great boulevard. They do not shun their pleasure. And the neoconservative right and Atlanticist, played by Nicolas Sarkozy, only bidder. Even a baseball cap turned upside down - Attitude found among young people worldwide - has become the stigma of suburban Arab who can not be a good French ...
Many leftist intellectuals have rebelled against a debate to give a degraded image of France. Sarkozy has seen fit, by daring an unfortunate reference to the Swiss vote against minarets, the good people against the elite. Old trick of the far right.
But the refusal of this debate goes beyond left-wing intellectuals. Even within the Republican right, we're scared of the dangerous turn of murky debates where the French "pure" just dump their hatreds and their ideas about "unclean". It is a UMP deputy, François Baroin, noting that the debate sought by Sarkozy and orchestrated by the very Doriot Eric Besson, takes a direction dishonorable. "We opened Pandora's box, all the instincts developed and ran the company."
is also a former Gaullist Prime Minister Alain Juppe, who states that "everything that can pit communities against each other, and especially against other Muslims, is detestable." However, it must be noted, the debate Prefectural MM. Sarkozy and Besson trivializes the word xenophobic and racist. He does not say what it means to be French, it means "enemies", those French who do not "really would not." That right-wing politicians, De Villepin Baroin or Juppe, preclude romping xenophobia is a sign that there is a strong foundation of democratic values to manipulation neoconservative.
