The Sarkozy Effect France’S New Presidential Dynamic J.G
Politics & Diplomacy The Sarkozy Effect France’s New Presidential Dynamic J.G. Shields Nicolas Sarkozy’s presidential campaign was predicated on the J.G. Shields is an associate professor of need for change in France, for a break—“une rupture”—with the French Studies at the past. His election as president of the French Republic on 6 University of Warwick in England. He is the first May 2007 ushered in the promise of a new era. Sarkozy’s pres- holder of the American idency follows those of the Socialist François Mitterrand Political Science Associ- ation's Stanley Hoff- (1981-95) and the neo-Gaullist Jacques Chirac (1995-2007), mann Award (2007) for who together occupied France’s highest political office for his writing on French more than a quarter-century. Whereas Mitterrand and Chirac politics. bowed out in their seventies, Sarkozy comes to office aged only fifty-two. For the first time, the French Fifth Republic has a president born after the Second World War, as well as a presi- dent of direct immigrant descent.1 Sarkozy’s emphatic victory, with 53 percent of the run-off vote against the Socialist Ségolène Royal, gave him a clear mandate for reform. The near-record turnout of 84 percent for both rounds of the election reflected the public demand for change. The legislative elections of June 2007, which assured a strong majority in the National Assembly for Sarkozy’s centre-right Union pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP), cleared the way for implementing his agenda over the next five years.2 This article examines the political context within which Sarkozy was elected to power, the main proposals of his presidential program, the challenges before him, and his prospects for bringing real change to a France that is all too evidently in need of reform. -

Rachida Dati's Paternity Case Illustrates the Extent of Sexist
blo gs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2012/11/29/rachida-datis-paternity-case/ Rachida Dati’s paternity case illustrates the extent of sexist attitudes toward female politicians in France. by Blog Admin A ruling is due next week on the court case involving the paternity of former French justice minister Rachida Dati’s child. Nabila Ramdani writes that the case is just the latest in a series of stories about sex scandals and affairs that have dominated the press in a country where female politicians have a terrible public image. Beyond the criminal allegations being aimed at f ormer president Nicolas Sarkozy, the most explosive legal case in France at the moment is centered on his protegee, Rachida Dati. Lawyers f or the f ormer conservative justice minister will be at the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Versailles next week, where judges will hand down a ruling with potentially massive f inancial consequences. Dati has named the casino and restaurant tycoon Dominique Desseigne as the f ather of her only child, now three. Desseigne, who is one of France’s richest men, is reportedly ref using to take a DNA test, but the court ruling could order him to co-operate. A positive result would entitle both mother and child to a multimillion-euro stake in his f ortune. If it already sounds like a Gallic Dallas, it gets worse. Desseigne has of f ered the names of seven other “f amous men” who were said to have had overlapping af f airs with Dati in the year during which the child was conceived – f rom other big-shot businessmen, through a TV star and Qatari prosecutor, to a younger brother of Sarkozy. -
Showdown Talks As Italy Fumes Over Austria Migrant
International14 FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 2016 Russian girl, 10, flies without ticket or ID MOSCOW: Russian transport police say a 10-year old girl flew from Moscow to St Petersburg without identifica- tion or a ticket. The incident that transport police report- ed Wednesday raises questions about security at Russian airports. The girl, whose identity was not revealed, left home for school on Tuesday and did not return. Alexander Rzhanenkov of the St Petersburg city hall told Russian news agencies the girl went to Moscow’s Vnukovo airport where she mingled with a crowd boarding a flight to St Petersburg. The official said she boarded the plane together with a large family with children. Police picked her up at St Petersburg’s airport where she was wander- ing unaccompanied. Children’s rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov said on Wednesday the girl’s trip sends “a seri- ous alert sign” about airport security. — AP UK’s Labor suspends ex-London mayor over Hitler remarks LONDON: Britain’s opposition Labor Party yesterday suspended former London mayor Ken Livingstone after he said Adolf Hitler supported Zionism, in a furious row over anti-Semitism that is dividing the party. “Ken Livingstone has been suspended by the Labor Party, People walk along rail tracks at a makeshift camp for migrants and refugees near the village of Idomeni not far from the pending an investigation, for bringing the party into disrepute,” a Greek-Macedonian border yesterday. — AFP Labor spokesman said.

Factsheet: the Austrian National Council
Directorate-General for the Presidency Directorate for Relations with National Parliaments Factsheet: The Austrian National Council 1. At a glance Austria is a federal republic and a parliamentary democracy. The Austrian Parliament is a bicameral body composed of the National Council (Nationalrat) and the Federal Council (Bundesrat). The 183 Members of the National Council are directly elected by the citizens. Elections to the National Council must take place every five years at the latest, and are based on the principles of proportional representation, an open list system and preferential votes. Austria is the only EU country where the voting age for national Parliamentary elections is 16. In most cases, the National Council issues federal legislation in conjunction with the Federal Council. However, with some rare exceptions the Federal Council only has a so-called “suspensive” veto right. The National Council can override a challenge by the Federal Council to one of its resolutions by voting on the resolution again. The current Austrian coalition government under Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP/EPP) is composed of the Austrian People's party (ÖVP/EPP) and Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ/ENF). 2.

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA WAIDHOFEN an DER YBBS an Orchestra with Tradition and Enthusiasm
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA WAIDHOFEN AN DER YBBS An Orchestra with tradition and enthusiasm Waidhofen/Ybbs is a little town in Lower Austria with a rich diversity in cultural and musical life. The town is well-known for its local music school and a long-standing tradition in orchestra playing. The symphony orchestra “Kammerorchester Waidhofen an der Ybbs”, registered society since 1973, plays an important role in the cultural life of the region and has three to four concert projects a year. Every autumn the orchestra plays a concert together with the local choir Cantores Dei, every second year a series of New Year's Concerts in the tradition of the famous Viennese New Year's Concert. One central concern of the ensemble is to be a platform for young gifted musicians. Thus many musi- cians who later on got engagements with professional orchestras gained their first experience in or- chestra playing at the Kammerorchester Waidhofen/Ybbs. The most famous among these is Prof. Rainer Küchl, former leader of the Wiener Philharmoniker, who has also performed a lot of violin con- certs together with this orchestra. Furthermore the ensemble has already played with well-known musicians like Stefan Vladar, Christopher Hinterhuber, Paul Gulda, Tamás Varga, Ernst Ottensamer or Ludwig Streicher and went on tour to countries like Italy, Germany, Croatia, Madeira, China or Iran. The repertory of the orchestra covers a broad range of styles, from baroque to contemporary music. What is really special is the arrangement of the ensemble – a mixture of people of various kinds of age and professions - playing music in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. -

In Hollande's New Government, Women Have Half the Jobs, but Less
blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2012/05/22/hollande-new-cabinet-women/ In Hollande’s new government, women have half the jobs, but less real power than under Sarkozy. May 22 2012 Many commentators have praised France’s new president François Hollande for appointing half of his cabinet and government’s posts to women. However, Rainbow Murray argues that these appointments are actually less favourable to women than the first Sarkozy government in 2007; most of the key ministerial posts have been given to men. Last week, the newly elected French president François Hollande unveiled France’s first parity government. Women now hold nine out of eighteen cabinet posts (excluding the (male) prime minister), and 17 out of a total of 34 government posts. This landmark moment comes in the wake of several unfulfilled promises of political parity in France. However, while there is much to be welcomed, the portfolios allocated to women demonstrate that French women still do not enjoy political equality with men. France first passed a parity law in 2000, requiring all French parties to field equal numbers of men and women to most elections. The law has led to significant improvements in women’s representation in local politics, but has been thwarted repeatedly at the national level, with parties placing women in unwinnable seats and, in some cases, sacrificing millions of euros in state subsidies rather than selecting more women candidates. As a result, the French National Assembly still only has 18.5% women MPs, although this is likely to rise sharply in June’s parliamentary elections. -
