The Meeting with the Press is scheduled to take place today at 16.00 hours (4 pm) Paris time.
Having already delayed the introduction of his famous 60 election promises to become President, the question now is what President Hollande has instructed his Government to do to make France competitive in the face of the Recession in the EU and in the World as a whole ?
Trade Unions and Socialist Electors expect clear guidelines. They essentially want no additional unemployment, or company closures. This is quite normal.
Industrial Leaders want more State investments in projects to absorb unemployment and to put more money in the pockets of consumers. They also want less taxes of all kinds to encourage consumer spending.
The Social and Political context at present is not favourable for President François Hollande. In France there is a mood of Social Unrest. In the EU, or should one say the EUROZONE, there is apprehension about the EURO and the General Elections in Germany in September. Will Merkel survive or not ?
Added to all this is that recent Popularity Polls have made President Hollande the most unpopular President of the Fifth Republic, created by General de Gaulle in 1958 !
Somewhere something must give.... must change !
