On April 22, the current president Nicolas Sarkozy lost the first round of the presidential election, and it immediately became clear: France was waiting for a change of power. As it turned out - and the change of course

April, elections. Someone was trying to seal the face of Hollande, Lick Sarkozy. Did not help ...
After the second round, having already recognized the defeat and saying goodbye to the Champs Elysees, Sarkozy will utter one of the most noble speeches in his career - the speech of a politician capable of worthy to leave: “I just spoke with him (socialist Francois Olland, the winner of the elections. - The New Times) by phone. I want to wish him good luck in these difficult times. France made its choice, and it was a democratic choice. It was the choice of the republic. / .../ I take full responsibility for this loss. /.../ But now let's show everyone France from its best side - a single, without hatred in the heart, democratic, happy, France, which does not lower the head, France open, France, which does not look at others as rivals or enemies. ”

Socialist President Francois Mitteran, the spiritual father of Hollande, was also too self-confident when he introduced a supernalogue in 1981. But he was punished by a massive flight of capital and gave back
"Stop! Here is the" rivals "by Nicolas-Great-Otriko in vain hurried. After all, the new owner of the Champs Elysees, even at the stage of the election campaign, gave everyone to understand: there is at least one country in the world, which France looks at the opponent, and this country is located in the neighborhood. The scandalous promise of Ollanda Merkel was agitated to" put in place " Berlin, where they began to prepare for the victory of the socialists in France: back in February 2012, two economic advisers to the French Socialist Party-Karin Berget and Valerie Worked-without unnecessary publicity consultations in the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, the Mozgovy Center for the Rushing in the Federal Republic of Affairs of the Christian Democratic Union (CDS) was one: to find the points of contact in the solution of unfavorable ones. There are almost no financial affairs of Europe, unlike Sarkois, who constantly played along with Berlin in the economy and finances, Olland immediately declared his ambitions: Paris has his own plan for the salvation of the Eurozone, and Germany will have to reckon with this. “Hollande in many ways the anti -sarcose - to hold on, dress, communicate with people, with the leaders of other countries. But the most embossed, perhaps, this difference was manifested in how Paris is now conducting a dialogue with Berlin, ”the French political scientist, the head of the observation analytical center Arno Dubyen, states in a conversation with The New Times. “Olland has a rather tough style.”
The main stumbling block is the European Central Bank (ECB). The idea of Hollande: immediately, since 2013, introduce a system of pan -European banking control under the auspices of the ECB so that almost any Eurozone Bank can apply to the ECB for fresh money. It is clear that Hollande was primarily thinking about French banks bending under the weight of Greek and Spanish loans. But to take Berlin with cunning did not work. At the October Summit, Hollande suffered the first serious defeat: Merkel opposed the alleged access to the resources of the ECB. The idea of the Banking Union lobbying Paris was put for the time being under cloth. In fact, Merkel equally subtly hinted from Hollande: France will have to save its finances itself.
Well, Hollande saves - as he can. He promised to reduce the budget deficit, and by the end of autumn it was possible to hide almost € 8 billion - from € 92 billion to € 84 billion. Olland is trying to reduce government departments, albeit at the cost of his own, noticeably dropped rating. Salto Mortale of his economic policy-the introduction of a 75 percent tax on superpathies since 2013. The very one, from whom the non -Belgium rolled the non -Belgium - Gerard Depardieu and from whom in the near future they are going to escape there at least 500 other fellow artist who earn more than € 1.4 million a year. Moreover, Depardieu can escape from the French fiscals even further, if he wishes. “He will want to move to us-we will give citizenship,” President Putin personally assured the audience during a press conference on December 20. “Fears about this tax are inflated by the press, because the real accruals will be below 75%,” Arno Dubyen reassures. He has no doubt that France in the number of millionaires will remain at the global vanguard - most will not follow the example of Depardieu and oligarch Bernard Arno, who also chose Belgium.
How to say. Another Council President Francois Mitterand, the spiritual father of Hollande, was also too self-confident when he introduced a supernalogue to wealth in 1981. But he was punished by a massive flight of capital and gave a reverse. Hollande does not answer this overripe question yet - he is silent. But for a long time it is unlikely to be silent.
Cecil Philip, Institute of Molinari (Paris):
Seven months of the presidency of Francois Hollande show: there is no talk of any structural economic reform yet. Yes, the financial crisis is the task of reducing government departments and deficiency. But here is the main question - where to start? The tax plan in France is already one of the highest in the European Union. But our valiant government did not find anything better how to continue to “press” taxpayers: a 75 percent tax on super-income tax is introduced, sales tax increased, local taxes, even overtime hours were taxed ... As many are quite reasonably considered, this may turn out to be the drop that will overwhelm the folk patience. The polemic unfolding in the country around the move (to Belgium) Gerard Depardieu shows to which our political class is “disconnected” from ordinary Frenchmen, 80% of which support the decision of its beloved actor.
