There is something rotten in the French Republic ... by Guy Verhofstadt

The seminar, held behind closed doors on February 9, shows the trap that has so caught the government. First her opportunity escapes him supposed to counter the National Front, the debate over national identity has instead given the themes of extreme right foreground. Then, his conduct has been lacking: lack of political consensus within the presidential majority, these discussions of sub-prefecture and the site became a dedicated défouloir remugle at Vichy. Finally, what are the purposes of this case?

learn La Marseillaise at school? The absurd argument to the grotesque. Not that we should be ashamed of his patriotic song. But instead of bemoaning the fact that young people understand better the words of a singer fashion rather than the national anthem, the French would rather be proud to know that La Marseillaise

is known. This tension on the national symbols is the most obvious symptom of national malaise sweating through this debate failed. It is a reflex of fear incomprehensible when you know the weight and influence of France in Europe and worldwide. All countries have immigration problems, the former colonial countries more than others, but we know that Islam is less problematic than the lack of training and unemployment.
To a thug in a North African or African origin Islamist who decked his wife in a burqa, how many youths from immigrant families succeed in entering and living from their work in our societies? The vast majority. It would be an insult to the nation's future if the debate on identity should lead to the stigmatization of population groups because individual behavior of a vocal minority, whose case falls within the police and justice.
When France won the World Cup football, I do not remember, quite the contrary, that the French have had to complain about the athletic abilities that gave their country its ethnic and cultural diversity. It This France-where Europe needs an open and inclusive country, which has earned a pluralistic identity and universal. Two concepts so well highlighted by Amartya Sen and Karl Popper
, which I thought over and developed in 2006 in a political manifesto entitled "A plea for an open society." For me, the essential effect is not where you come but where you are going.
As we celebrate the 50 th anniversary of the death of Camus, it is ironic that France surrenders to a position foreign to one who made his reputation centuries. It is certainly another France, Maurras, chauvinist who has not shown the best during major shocks nationalists of the twentieth century e . But in France we love and we need, we expect the ideas, projects, and not a ghetto of old chilly nation, more busy rehashing past failures to prepare its success tomorrow. The self-respect which has always France outside its borders is a token of recognition and a valuable point of support to restore confidence to the French. A confident people will find its place in Europe and worldwide. And its leaders would do well to take notice.
Guy Verhofstadt is group president of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats in the European Parliament, former Prime Minister of Belgium.

besitos to everyone
