A soup for the grimace campaign

Shipyards in St. Nazaire, candidates for president succeed to catch the voices and acquire 
the patina of popular defender of workers' interests. Marine Le Pen even neglects Nantes - 
too sore and informed - to keep his departmental meeting in Saint-Nazaire, the town of 
steelworkers, and emphasize its image of a candidate of the people. The image of each 
candidate becomes more essential, in this electoral competition issues so fuzzy basic 
features of programs (austerity and balance) are similar, accelerated economic front skid.

The debt crisis of the state has communicated to all European countries with austerity 
measures in the key (and recession), to calm hedge funds, banks and their shareholders who 
gobergent. This crisis is needed in the French election campaign.

Whichever candidate is elected in May, it will position itself as a loyal manager of the 
State (not to mention his family, obviously). Clearly impose its finance law, with 
possible social measures of junk that will not stand in the first jolt economic, national 
or European. How could it be otherwise? Even as a multinational Veolia decided to sell its 
branch Transport, the world is patiently building sector, to reduce its debt by 15 billion 
become unacceptable to shareholders and creditors (see article in this number). The French 
State will apply not soften some of the revenue Greek and Spanish, Holland Will George 
Papandreou he French?

If he had not lost in a room of Sofitel New York, Strauss-Kahn could move from the 
direction of the IMF under Socialist president of France! In retrospect, it's scary ...
The International Monetary Fund is mainly responsible for breaking the brakes States to 
open their markets to global capitalism and its laws. The doctrine of the IMF: the rule of 
the market, invisible hand infallible especially for the poor. In 2009, Romania has 
received a loan of 13 billion euro IMF, with a series of unprecedented austerity measures 
(such as reducing salaries by 25%, the VAT increase, the progress of the retirement age, 
health law ...).
Fifteen days of clashes in Bucharest in January appear to show that the Romanian-es are 
tired and the popular movement that began in Greece refusal diffuse inexorably into the 
former Soviet bloc countries. Same in Portugal, which liquidated social rights in exchange 
for a loan of 78 billion from the IMF and the EU, which has seen a massive general strike 
in late November. This social frustration can also grow to feed xenophobia and rejection 
of other peoples, seen as responsible (see article on developments in Hungary).

If we can predict the political future of the Chairman, the current power is more 
surprising. For example, why a heavier tax (VAT "social"), inevitably unpopular and 
moreover inapplicable before the elections, due to time ... How can he expect Sarkozy 
seduced by father Rigor while the opulence and richness of some es-spreads with 
ostentation and Rolls-Royce is experiencing a 31% increase in sales in 2011.
perception of reform pensions, imposed in force in autumn 2010 but finally accepted as 
inevitable and reasonable by a majority, it would guide policy in reverse hair? As an 
ambitious Sarkozy is not especially tempted by suicide policy ... So he bets on a 
discourse of "truth" to make up lost time, a discourse that can only please the markets.
Pending the outcome of this bluff, the policy of repression of social movements do not 
mollie. The relentless police and judiciary on those who resist or refuse to be 
trampled-es even intensifies. Burrs and murders multiply as to prevent by fear and 
repression all rebellion ... The initiative for a day of action initiated by the Committee 
Poitevin anti crackdown on March 17 is all the more necessary.

Struggles against the big expensive projects, wasteful and destructive
Across Europe, major projects are unnecessary and costly imposed on citizens.
It was during a workshop on these projects during the Social Forum
World in February 2011 in Dakar, the Italian movement NoTav took the initiative
(Fighting against a proposed TGV Lyon-Turin for 20 years) to organize the first

(Against the proposed airport Nantes-Notre Dame-des-Landes) was invited to
intervene. A meeting in August 2011 has brought together associations opposed to

A few "modern" techniques to imprison ...
Just as we punish sin confession by intent, the court is
sanctioned in advance since the law Estrosi of 2010 that created the offense of
participation in a "gang violence". Behind these words, they are increasingly
political circles that are targeted by the authorities. And membership in these
environments (or even the mere attendance of certain persons), along with the
refusal DNA collection and the charge of having organized-e "in meeting" the
trifecta of the judiciary to confine disturbing the established order.
