The current French government has done so many good things it is hard to keep track of them all. 1. REfusing to abide by the Mastricht guidelines when more money was needed for employment initiatives. 2. Stopping nuclear testing. 3. Introducing the 35 hour work week. 4. Stopping the Superpheonix reactor. 5. Regularising the status of "sans papiers" - immigrants and refugees with no official status. 6. Scraping the racist "Loi Pasqua" on citizenship. 7. Making jobs the number one priority for Europe. 8. Opposing the bombing of Iraq. 9. Creating 350,000 jobs for youth in civil society.... And now, opposing the MAI. From our media you would think that the French are just a bunch of lay-abouts who refuse to accept modern realities. In fact, the French are blazzing a trail in favour of humanity. The French deserve our support - if they win, we win, but if they loose you can bet that our government, business and media leaders will make a big deal out of it for years to come.
