If you want growth, create it!

The long crisis we are experiencing marks a change of era and an opportunity to reinvent new models. This is definitely an exceptional time. It is a time of revelation of an obligatory transition, constantly postponed, psychologically denied so much, of course, that the aftermath remains uncertain, because the aftermath is simply to be invented. As always, we would like the world to change... to... Continue reading Si vous voulez de la croissance, créez-la !

For a Made 'by' France that is greater than Made 'in' France

We are proud, but lack the pride of belonging, to carry a tricolour banner as loudly as others carry a starred banner. We often proudly claim France's superiority in many areas, to the point of sometimes appearing to give lessons, and at the same time we regularly sink into self-criticism and self-flagellation, which ...

French pride in their regional identity

- NewCorp Conseil's major national survey - The territorial reform desired by the Prime Minister (abolition of the general councils and division of the number of regions by two) will be difficult.

Political inspiration suffers from the pre-formatting of partisan thinking

Why is it so difficult to renew oneself politically and culturally? The time of great crises, of great decisions, of great changes, must also be the time of renewal, of creativity, of gathering, of national unity, of the "project". This applies both at national and European level. Europe should be at the time of the Europe nation, not the Europe of the world. Continue reading L’inspiration politique souffre du pré-formatage de la pensée partisane

Forward

"Forward", to say "we still can" "Forward" was Barack Obama's campaign slogan, an apt and very contemporary slogan.

Consuming less energy to boost growth

At a time when we are reaching peaks in electricity consumption and the recent report by the Court of Auditors revises the cost of the thermonuclear park, the energy question is a social, environmental and industrial issue.

In fact, the opposition is already elsewhere because it is already everywhere. Today, the exercise of the opposition is no longer limited to the playground of political parties, representatives of the people and speaking in their name. Above all ...
