Mitterrand and Kohl to discuss 'yes' vote

Article Abstract:

Votes in the French referendum on the Maastricht treaty were 50.81% in favour and 49.18% against, causing doubt about the possibility of applying thetreaty. A poll revealed that many 'yes' voters believed the treaty would establish Germany firmly in Europe, while 'no' voters thought it would increase German supremacy. A referendum is not a sensible method of judging opinion as people with differing views are brought together instead of representing one clear view.

'Hands-on' PM braces the fire of critics

Article Abstract:

French Prime Minister Edith Cresson is expected to lose her position at the end of Mar 1992. Likely candidates are Finance Minister Pierre Beregovoy and Labour Minister Martine Aubry. Cresson is seen as a scapegoat. Unemployment has risen to 2.86 million and is expected to reach 3 million by the end of 1992. Her visit to Le Creusot, north Burgundy on Feb 25, 1992 was to demonstrate her committment to economic and social policies.
