Le changement il est deja la

By GDL.

During the Presidential campaign, the Socialist candidate Francois Hollande slogan was
" Le changement c'est maintenant".
Actually it did not take long for the French people to see " le changement" as soon as Mr Francois Hollande was officially intronised as President of France.
His first visit to Germany to discuss European matters or " La crise Euro" was a victory for Francois Holland as his " croissance" (growth) was "considered" by the Chancellor Angla Merkel, who said initially, she was opposed to " la croissance" and preferred " l'austerite" ( austerity measures).

Francois Hollande took his concept of "la croissance"  to the G8 meeting and succeded in convincing President Obama and the rest of the G8, that growth was the way forward. There was even an editorial saying how Angela Merkel was " isolated" on her concept of austerity.

The second great " changement" which the French people and the world was quick to notice, was the composition new French Government. It was a marked contrast with the Sarkosy and Fillon style. For the first time France has a government with 17 female ministers and so many young talents.

The third change was Francois Holland's victory in maintaining that the French military troups will be back to France by the end of this year. Barak Obama. apparently tried to convince Francois Hollande to change his mind but he resisted. That's what we call "n'avoir pas froid aux yeux" even while having an eye to eye contact with the most powerful person in earth.

Ah, j'allais oublier cette reduction de salaires des Ministres de 30%. Quel exemple pour les politiciens de Maurice et de L'Australie !! Je dirai plutot une claque a l'UMP.
Le changement en France est non seulement "maintenant", mais il est deja la.
