54. If you do not understand it, you better ignore it?

Posted on2017-01-092017-01-09

The editorial staff of Aujourd’hui en France / Le Parisien decided that they would simply stop commissioning opinion polls ahead of the 2017 French presidential election. They say  – inter alia – that polls and surveys failed to predict the results of Read More …

53. “Women ” prove the FN is a divided party

Posted on2017-01-022017-01-02

​Earlier, I suggested in some of my analyses and interviews that the FN was a divided organisation, as internal power struggles are routinely present within the party. In recent days we have seen many evidence of this, since a nasty Read More …

52. The year of political death

Posted on2017-01-022017-01-02

For an analysts like me, it is kind of obligatory to consider the passing year. Whose year was it? What was the year about? I could easily say that 2016 was the year of the Fillon-surprise, but in fact, it Read More …

Posted on2016-10-312016-10-31

A book based on about 100 hours of interviews with François Hollande was published by two Le Monde journalists, Gérard Davet and Fabrice Lhomme. The title “A President Shouldn’t Say That…” practically tells all. I do not know what Hollande’s Read More …

49. French government intervenes to save iconic Alstom industrial plant from closure

Posted on2016-10-16

Sarkozy’s “affairs” and Hollande’s book are certainly interesting and entertaining for those interested in French politics. The “big issue” of September, though, is the planned closure of Alstom’s TGV industrial plant in Belfort in 2018. The announcement of Alstom has Read More …

Disappointing growth, suffering tourism: not exactly the best recipe for President Hollande's 2017 re-election ambitions.

48. Disappointing growth, suffering tourism

Posted on2016-08-03

Economic success would be necessary for President François Hollande to reduce unemployment and to legitimate his 2017’s re-election bid (and people also want that growth badly – for obvious reasons). But outstanding economic growth remains a mere dream. As it Read More …

47. State of emergency and other proposals: this is where we are

Posted on2016-07-22

Parliament extended the state of emergency until 2017. Six more months. Meanwhile, the situation have become more complicated, because more and more concrete anti-terrorism proposals come to light. The debate about political responsibility after Nice goes on.
