How a smug political elite got it all wrong

Article Abstract:

There seemed to be very good prospects for political stability in France when president Jacques Chirac and prime minister Alain Juppe first entered power in May 1995. The two men were politically and temperamentally close, and Juppe's intellect was greatly respected. However, they made a number of key errors which have led to the current outbreak of strikes and protests. Chirac made contradictory election promises, leading many sectors of the population to expected improvements in their situation, while Juppe failed to take advantage of the initial few months of his government, when voters would have been willing to accept change.

Dignity, nation and De Gaulle

Article Abstract:

France has already seen the return of certain elements of Gaullism under new president Jacques Chirac. He has already visited de Gaulle's grave twice since he took office, and has made many Gaullist allusions in speeches and statements. Gaullist principles are now starting to dictate policy, which is causing concern among some observers.
