The first government of Mr Valls, who was appointed less than five months
ago, fell on Monday after a row with Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg. Mr Montebourg resigned along with two other ministers from the left. He will be replaced by Emmanuel Macron, a former Rothschild banker and
ex-presidential economic adviser.
President Hollande is seeking a coherent line on economic policy after recent
criticism from the left wing of his Socialist Party. Many see it as his last chance to make a successful presidency, after his
recent poll ratings sunk to 17%.
Key portfolios
unchanged
- For the first time, a woman - Najat Vallaud-Belkacem - will be put in charge
of education, replacing Benoit Hamon who also lost his job. Ms Vallaud-Belkacem was minister for women's rights in the last cabinet. Meanwhile, Fleur Pellerin has been made minister for culture, replacing
Aurelie Filippetti who is also out of the government. Key ministers in the previous cabinet, like Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius,
Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian and Finance Minister Michel Sapin, retain
their posts.... Valls and Macron will change France once and for all: the SP dissidents will be too cowardly to force dissolution of the National Assembly and new elections, the SP dissidents would rather have a few more months of National Assembly member privileges than fight for what they were originally elected for. Shame on SP dissidents, shame on the caviar gauchistes of the SP. Either the structural reforms can be enacted, or France will implode in street revolts, strikes, and more. The lessons of Greece, Spain and the US are that humans are passive in the face of government-decreed austerity, unemployment, foreclosure and homelessness....François Hollande’s new government only stifled voices of dissent from the left wing of his Socialist Party. These marginal changes simply mean that France is headed down the dark path to meet its destiny and as the second largest economy after Germany, France will take Europe as a whole with it. Hollande’s already unbelievable weak political standing both in France and his diminished respect within the wider European economy, will only have a very chilling impact that dooms France in the future. We are watching live how empires, nations, and city states die.
marx-4These governmental changes leave the direction of Hollande’s policy intact. Hollande is desperately trying to hold on to the theories of Marx that were born there in France. Hollande cannot connect the dots that socialism and communism failed for freedom belongs inherently to the people. He cannot grasp that if you told students in school they will all get the same grade regardless of their effort, you would soon destroy the purpose of education. Individual self-worth and achievement may invoke envy in the slackers, but it creates great civilizations among the enlightened. Hollande does not understand that this same basic concept applies in economics. We are people with equal right – not equal abilities or desires.
