PHONE SPYING : AYRAULT KNEW NOTHING !


The Phone Spying "scandal" in France was provoked by judges who permitted the eavesdropping of the private phone of former President Nicolas Sarkozy and that of his avocate.   

According to the French Press, the conversations were transcribed by the Ministry of the Interior and made available to the Minister, Manuel Valls.  Christine Taubira, the Justice Minister like Valls pleads that she was not informed of all the detail !  As a result neither President Hollande nor the Prime Minister Jean-Mark Ayrault apparantly knew anything before a few days  ago !  

No one really ever knew everything !  And now the public believes no one !

Briefly said this whole affair got out of hand.  How  can a past President or anyone seek advice from his advocate in cases like this ?  The Opposition clamoured for an official enquiry but the Government said it did not want to interfere with an on-going judicial hearing !  Finally the Prime Minister was interviewed on television but explained nothing ! 

Now, no one is satisfied !  Neither the public nor the politicians.   Would it not have been better for everyone if a full blown debate had taken place in Parliament as requested by the Opposition?  Is that not the "chosen" place in history where such quarrels should be settled ?
