  • Hôtel De Matignon, Le 23 Mars 2017
    Hôtel de Matignon, le 23 mars 2017 Déclaration de M. Bernard CAZENEUVE, Premier ministre Attentat de Londres Hôtel de Matignon – Jeudi 23 mars 2017 Seul le prononcé fait foi Mesdames et messieurs, Londres a été touchée au cœur hier, aux abords du Parlement de Westminster, par une attaque terroriste, un an jour pour jour après les attentats qui avaient frappé Bruxelles. Le bilan s'élève malheureusement, à ce jour, à 3 morts et 40 blessés. Parmi ces derniers figurent trois lycéens français, venus découvrir Londres, cette ville magnifique, dans le cadre d’un voyage scolaire, et qui y ont croisé la route d’un assassin fanatisé. Toutes nos pensées vont vers eux, vers leurs familles et vers leurs proches, comme elles vont vers les autres victimes de ce lâche attentat. Le gouvernement et les services de l'Etat se sont mobilisés dès l'annonce du drame. La consule générale de France à Londres s’est rendue au chevet des victimes. La protection consulaire à Londres est totalement mobilisée et un numéro d’appel pour l’information des familles a été mis en place. Un avion de notre flotte a immédiatement été mis à la disposition des familles pour qu’elles puissent se rendre auprès de nos jeunes compatriotes blessés. Elles sont ainsi pu se rendre dans la capitale britannique dès hier soir. Depuis ce matin, Jean-Marc Ayrault est à Londres, auprès des autorités britanniques et de la communauté française de Londres. Il est allé à la rencontre des lycéens blessés à l’hôpital, et de leurs camarades à leur hôtel, pour leur exprimer le plein soutien du Gouvernement.

  • France Comparative Politics Test Review Mr
    FRANCE COMPARATIVE POLITICS TEST REVIEW MR. BAYSDELL 1. The current Prim Minister of France is Francois Fillon. 2. The current President of France is Nicolas Sarzoky. 3. The French President is elected by a direct popular vote. 4. French Parliamentarians may simultaneously hold various regional political offices. 5. France does not posses a permanent seat without veto power on the United Nations Security Council. 6. The Constitutional Council can declare laws in France unconstitutional. 7. A Traditional element of stability in the French Government has been the bureaucracy. 8. A major constitutional innovation of the French Fifth Republic was a strong local governmental structure. 9. Since 1989 the French government wants European integration to proceed faster than does the British government. 10. The principle that basic economic conditions determine political structures underlies Marxism. 11. The French political party that has advanced its political agenda by capitalizing on the racial intolerance accompanying the influx of immigrants is the National Front. 12. The European Union (EU) challenges the sovereignty of member states in Europe because an increasing number of decisions are now being made by the EU instead of being made solely by national government. 13. The right to call referenda most enhances the powers of the French President. 14. In France the national legislature consists of a directly elected National Assembly and an indirectly elected Senate. 15. Unlike their British counterparts, when French Representatives in Parliament are named to cabinet posts they must give up their seats in Parliament. 16. One reason the French Communist Party (FCP) lost support during the 1980s and 1990s was that the Socialist Party was able to attract many voters who in the past had supported the FCP.
