  • Année 2012, N° 9 Numéro Spécial : Elections Françaises
    Pauvres, mais honnêtes, nous paraissons quand nous pouvons, et notamment le lundi 7 mai 2012 Année 2012, n° 9 Numéro spécial : Elections françaises France Hollande: socialiste président ou président socialiste ? « J'ai trois principes : la cohérence -j'ai présenté mes propositions il y a maintenant plusieurs mois, j'ai à dire comment elles se mettraient en œuvre -, la clarté parce que les Français ont le droit de savoir ce qui va se passer dans les premières semaines de l'action du président, la rapidité parce qu'il n'y a pas de temps à perdre », avait déclaré François Hollande le 4 mai. Evidemment, comme à chaque fois qu’un « Homme de Gôche » accède à tout ou partie du pouvoir, on se pose la question : Hollande sera-t-il un socialiste président ou un président socialiste ? Comme tous les droguistes vous le diront, le rouge, c’est la couleur qui déteint le plus vite ! L’Agence Ecofin (qui est basée en Suisse, preuve de son sérieux et de son engagement résolu du côté de ceux qui, sur la terre, n’ont été damnés que par la malédiction de la richesse), semble le prendre au sérieux puisqu’elle écrit, d’une manière qui sonne un peu comme un cri d’alarme : « François Hollande (57 ans) est devenu hier le deuxième président de gauche de la Ve République. Il obtient 51,67% des suffrages exprimés (17,8 millions), contre 48,33% (16,7 millions) au président sortant Nicolas Sarkozy. Le taux d'abstention s'est établi à 18,97 % alors qu’il était de 16,03 % en 2007.

  • Mme Mitterrand
    Mai 1989 .~ Madame Mitterrand au Kurdistan Répondant à l'appel des réfugiés kurdes irakiens, Madame Danielle Mitterrand a effectué du 30 avril au 2 mai 1989, une visite au Kurdistan de Turquie. Au cours de ce court séjour, elle a notamment rendu visite aux trois camps (Diyarbakir, Mu~ et Mardin) abritant les 38.000 Kurdes irakiens rescapés' de l'offensive aux armes chimiques lancée par Bagdad en août et septembre 1988. Pour mieux connaître la situation de ces "réfugiés" et entendre leurs doléances, elle s'est entretenue directement avec plusieurs dizaines d'entre-eux par le truchement d'un inter- prète parlant kurde et français, amené spécialement de Paris. Comme dans ses autres visi- tes à l'étranger, elle a également tenu à recevoir de nombreux défenseurs locaux de droits de l'homme et des victimes symboliques des persécutions pour délit d'opinion. Ainsi, durant son escale à Ankara, elle a notamment reçu le professeur de sociologie Ismail Be- sikçi, qui vient de passer 12 ans dans les geôles turques en raison de ses travaux univer- sitaires sur les Kurdes et M. ~erafettin Elçi, ministre au cabinet social-démocrate dEcevit, qui a purgé 3 ans de prison pour s'être publiquement déclaré kurde. A Diyarbakir, outre le bâtonnier et les dirigeants de l'Association des droits de l'homme, elle a reçu le vieil écrivain et dramaturge Musa Anter, 75 ans, plusieurs fois emprisonné en raison de ses écrits en langue kurde, une mère de détenu kurde, qui avait récemment tenté de s'immoler par le feu pour protester contre les tortures cruelles infligées aux prisonniers kurdes.

The matter was more or less settled by the Luxembourg summit of the European Council held on 12 December 1997, at which the European Council decided to open accession negotiations with all the applicant countries except Turkey. Turkey's relationship with the European Union is more complicated than that of any other European country seeking EU membership. The complications arise from doubts over Turkey's European identity, whether Turkey is European. Since that question can never be directly raised, the EU explains its rejection on political grounds, i.e. Turkey's shortcomings in upholding the principles of democracy, law and human rights. A serious obstacle to Turkey's incorporation into the EU is, of course, its political system, which provides the EU with a valid reason for rejecting Turkey.

  • Ctress Salma Hayek
    Chapter 2 Keeping the Kurdistan Flame Alive Abroad Bayan Sami Abdul Rahman Over the past few decades, Kurdistan’s diaspora communities have made significant contributions to their homeland, particularly in raising aware - ness among the media and political elites, gathering support from the international community, facilitating foreign direct investment (FDI), and bringing expertise and education back to the Kurdistan Region. Kurdistan’s diaspora 1 is a product of discrimination, political persecution, war and dis - placement. Having fled unspeakable atrocities and the destruction of their homes, many Kurds, Christians, and other Kurdistanis found new lives in the West. Although they forcibly resided outside their homeland, they have developed a strong Kurdistani group consciousness and identity in the diaspora, based on their shared memories of trauma and loss but also on the shared political aspiration and emotional hope of returning to their homeland at some point. The diaspora communities that formed have played an instrumental role making the question of Kurdistan an interna - tional political subject and contributing to the success of the Kurdistan Region, by providing a bridge between Kurdistan and the West, where most have settled. Brief History Iraqi Kurdistan’s diaspora is spread throughout the world. Although no reliable statistics on the diaspora population exist, the number is probably on the order of several hundred thousand. They are spread most predom - inantly throughout Europe, North America, and Australia. 1 This brief account is focused on the Iraqi Kurdistan diaspora and the role that it plays in regards to Iraqi Kurdistan. On many occasions, diaspora communities from every part of Kurdistan have contributed to the same struggle and continue to do so.

  • Hernando Calvo Ospina - Articles - Extrait Dʼun Entretien Avec Danielle Mitterrand, Présidente De “France Libertés”
    Hernando Calvo Ospina - Articles - Extrait dʼun entretien avec Danielle Mitterrand, Présidente de “France libertés” Ce qui suit est un extrait d'un entretien avec Mme. Danielle Mitterrand, veuve de lʼex-président français François Mitterrand, présidente de lʼassociation « France-Libertés », et morte le 22 novembre 2011. Hernando Calvo Ospina : Mme. Mitterrand, quʼa signifié pour vous lʼarrivée au gouvernement de votre époux François ? Est-ce que les idéaux sociaux et politiques quʼil portait dès sa jeunesse ont été reconnus en ces moments-là ? Danielle Mitterrand : Mai 1981 fut un mois de grande activité, car cʼétait la préparation de lʼarrivée au pouvoir de François. Jʼessayais dʼapporter tout ce quʼil y a de meilleur en moi, pour que ces rêves dʼavoir une société socialiste, quoique à lʼeuropéenne, deviennent réalité. Mais bien vite jʼai commencé à voir que cette France juste et équitable ne pouvait pas sʼétablir. Alors je lui demandais à François : Pourquoi maintenant que tu en as le pouvoir ne fais-tu pas ce que tu avais offert ? Il mʼa répondu : “Je nʼai pas le pouvoir dʼaffronter la Banque mondiale, le capitalisme, le néolibéralisme…. Jʼai gagné un gouvernement mais je nʼai pas le pouvoir !”. Jʼappris ainsi que dʼêtre le gouvernement, être président, ne sert pas à grand-chose dans ces sociétés sujettes, soumises au capitalisme. Jʼai vécu lʼexpérience directement durant 14 ans. Même sʼil essayait dʼéviter le côté le plus négatif du capitalisme, les rêves ont commencé à se briser très rapidement. HCO : Vous nʼavez pas assumé le rôle de « première dame » comme lʼ« exige » la tradition protocolaire. Était-ce un simple caprice ? Ou à cause de convictions politiques ? DM : Je nʼai pas voulu être une « première dame » comme toutes les autres, et en conséquence jʼai refusé le protocole quʼon a voulu mʼimposer.
