Daniel Cohn-Bendit mocks a CRS in May 68. This poster animates the streets of Lausanne. Logic. This is one of the most famous images of Gilles Caron. And therefore a good call for the exhibition that the Mus??e de l’Elys??e, lovely balcony overlooking Lake Geneva, dedicated to the French photojournalist?

Gilles Caron is known to have performed in just three years, some ic ing of photojournalism – Six-Day War, May 68, Prague, Biafra, Northern Ireland, Vietnam – but they are not all in the Elysium, and when they are, they are embedded in a hundred and fifty selected images.

What we do not see either, is that Caron was one-to-all button (social war, politics, news story, shows) capable of carrying up to four stories a day.

It was a January evening in the small hall of the Theatre de Vanves (Hauts-de-Seine). The show was called as I was sort of in love with those flowers, and we suspected that with a title containing the words of the beautiful song by Georges Brassens, we would take a tour of c? ty of the Porte des Lilas.

Strong ads to try to counter a disturbing crisis of authority every day to the executive. This is Fran? Ois Hollande who came to the press, Wednesday, April 10, to detail the measures planned by the government for its “shock transparency”, which must step up the fight against tax evasion, but also fight against corrupt politicians, after the affair Cahuzac.

See also Transparency, tax havens ads Fran ois Hollande?

Which means the “High Authority”? The Head of State has proposed the creation of a “financial parquet” responsible for centralizing corruption and tax evasion more effectively. A formula that recalls floor antierroriste that centralizes him, terrorism cases. He also announced the creation of a “High Authority of transparency”, composed of six members from the Supreme Court, the Court of Auditors and the State Council. She will be in charge of “control? L declarations of assets and interests of parliamentarians, ministers, leading politicians and senior officials of the administration,” says Holland.

This raises several questions, beginning with its means. Six people can alone control? Really l d??claratrions the wealth of 577 deputies, 348 senators, thirty ministers and a dozen “high public officials.” This will require resources in personnel and the ability to access certain tax or bank records. The Government states that it will have “authority to order” for documents, but does not speak of human or material resources.

What happens to the commission for the transparency of political life? Fran? Ois Hollande also said that the High Authority “will thoroughly examine the situation of each minister before and after his appointment.” One point that awakens familiar echoes. This is indeed not the first time that such an announcement occurs. Since 1988, a commission for the transparency of political life, chaired by the Vice-President of the State Council, in particular to oversee the assets of elected and changes between the beginning and the end of their mandate.

The commission also makes an annual report (see the 2012), which is not apparent in general not much. The committee often moves of “delays” elected in their declaration of assets, but makes only a few adjustments. In 2011, this committee has been strengthened powers. However, they are lower than those of the future High Authority.

Another question: how to work the High Authority as part of a new government? Investigate it before the appointment of ministers? At the beginning of their term, even entered have dinner resignation if one of them is involved?

Make public the assets of elected is not it risky? One big difference resides in the fact that the asset declarations will be made public, according to the head of state. If the practice is relatively common in Europe, it is less common in France, and many elected officials have already mentioned a form of “trap”: report low heritage is being suspected of not having everything. And declare a heritage provided, it is the reverse power the trial to “disconnect” from real life. Marisol Touraine, Minister of Health, who just recognize? They be paid the imp t of Wealth, has immediately been taunted.

How far should we go in prohibited business? Another shock announcement: it is forbidden for members to exercise certain professions during their mandate. The announcement was surrounded by some uncertainty, Fran? Ois Hollande is less harsh in their ads that the government on its website, as noted by The Lab Europe 1.

According to the Government, members will be denied “any occupation, except as stated in the law.” Officials will in turn laid off. And parliamentary assistants will also embroidered strips to avoid their in Parallel activities of lobbyists. Again, the devil is in the details: What occupations will be exempt from this rule, and which ones will not?

And do not we run the risk of seeing the National Assembly, where officials are already many, become even less representative of society, if only state agents are sure to find a job at the end of their mandate? One can also ask how parliamentarians, who will pass this law, will welcome when it arrives in the Assembly.

Bank subsidiaries: a measure already in the Banking Act. Mr. Holland also mentioned tax havens. One year after the “finance” his “enemy” in his speech at Le Bourget, the President has proposed a series of measures: building specialized staff, with a doubling in the number of the National Division of Financial and tax investigations ( Dniff), which will increase to one hundred people, and will be paid in a Central fight against fraud and corruption, which again reminds the national counter-terrorism division.

Other measures seem to duplicate. Thus, the Head of State spoke of the obligation for French banks? Glad to “make public annually a list of all their subsidiaries around the world, country by country.” However, a similar provision is contained in the Banking Act currently under discussion in the Assembly: the obligation to publish for each State or territory where a French bank has a subsidiary ease a variety of information: profit nature of activity, grants …

Ultimately, these measures respond to Cahuzac they matter? This is the question posed by the opposition. Among the ads currently lack indeed one of the issues raised by this case: potential conflicts of interest of ministers and their entourage. As in past governments Fillon, the ministers signed a declaration of interest. But it says nothing, or almost. And Fran? Ois Hollande did not mention this issue.

The Fran ais still may be involved. After tax reform passed in late 2012 which includes many measures entering into force this year (freezing of the scale of the imp? T income, lowering the ceiling of the family quotient cap standard deductions for business expenses …) The government is looking for new resources.

This time it is the family benefit in the viewfinder. Didier Migaud, the first president of the Court of Auditors has ruled Sunday that taxing could be a track to increase state revenue.

Currently, many benefits and family allowances are exempt imp? Ts.

THE EFFECT OF THE END OF TAX BENEFITS for pensioners

Another topic much discussed in recent days: the need to find new funding to ensure the sustainability of the pension system. The government could, in fact, launch a new reform this year, as revealed by Le Monde.

The government would reflect including de-index pensions of the general scheme of inflation. Another avenue would be to remove two tax benefits for pensioners (the tax deduction of 10% on their pensions, and a reduced rate of CSG). Again, the impact would be significant, as shown in the simulation performed below the company Fidroit.

The original editions of Tintin can also reach Himalayan ratings … if they are in perfect condition. “The gap continues to widen between the pieces that seem out of print and those of average appearance,” says the expert Eric Leroy.

Advantage: receive a complete offer for a price known in advance. Disadvantage: only a part of the services is actually useful. For example, some packages include, for example, a death insurance or writing a bank check per year (Service that certifies that a check is not NSF) and, often, the average insurance payment unnecessary in most cases.

MOVING LINES

Innovative packages Certainly, these deals are cheaper than buying individual products unit. But in practice, it is more economical to purchase only the necessary services. “The study that we carried on our six profiles shows that the rate outside package is regularly cheaper than such a product,” says Ludovic Herschlikovitz Choose from my bank.

MAINTENANCE. By multiplying the threats against his South Korean neighbor and the United States, North Korea seems to affirm its determination to stand up to the international community in the tug-of-iron that is committed to its nuclear program. The communist state yet knew he was exposed to new sanctions of the Security Council of the UN, when conducted on February 12, its third nuclear test since 2006. The vote on sanctions, Friday, March 8, was accompanied by a dangerous rhetorical escalation, the warlike accents, between Pyongyang, Seoul and Washington. After breaking the non-aggression pacts signed in 1991 with Seoul, the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, has designated Tuesday, March 12, a little? South Korea near the maritime border between the South and the North as the first target in the event of conflict.

Val??rie Niquet, head of p? The Asia Foundation for Strategic Research (FRS), decrypts the rising tensions on the Korean peninsula.

How to analyze threats by the North Korean regime against South Korea and the United States? North Korea is ready to engage in a military escalation?

Val??rie Niquet. These threats of North Korean regime is not new. They are recurrent when UN sanctions are adopted. On the one hand, Pyongyang uses provocation and escalation to try to scare. It does, however, no real hope for the North Korean regime has realized that he had little leverage and influence over the United States and China. These threats include an element of bluff, because the action of the North Korean regime is limited capacity. However, you can not remove the possibility of a reckless act, desperate North Korea. On the other hand, these threats are part of a domestic political dimension. As a result of UN sanctions, Kim Jong-un needs to demonstrate its power and not be intimidated by external enemies. But if Kim Jong-un has gone too far, it is exposed to dangerous responses to the regime itself, whose main objective is to survive.

Since the 1990s, Pyongyang used blackmail and it worked. We were afraid of North Korea, so we agreed to negotiate: the negotiations with 5 +1, the provision of aid to the regime for developing countries. This allowed the North Korean regime to gain time for parallel develop ballistic and nuclear capabilities. Given this situation, there has been a change in U.S. policy. As the dialogue did not prevent nuclear proliferation, Americans now oppose any dialogue without consideration and adopted an attitude of strategic patience.

What is the current position of traditional China, an ally of North Korea, facing the strategy of provocation from Pyongyang?

Chinese leaders are annoyed by the strategy of provoking North Korea, which is in part against their interests. First, the proliferation of North Korean provocations causes no rapprochement between the United States and its South Korean ally. The implementation of maneuvers joint military between the United States and South Korea strengthen the U.S. military presence in the region, which is not good for the strategic interests of China. Second, China has an interest in North Korea develops economically in order to develop trade. Furthermore, in terms of image, it is more negative for China appear? Be as the only ally of North Korea.

However, there are limits to what China is ready to make against North Korea. She voted sanctions, as each time before, to show that it is responsible. Apply something else. She has never used the means of action available to it for the purpose of these sanctions. China is not ready to take action that went? Neraient the rapid collapse of the North Korean regime. It is the first economic partner of Pyongyang on all levels (energy, consumer goods, infrastructure, support and even money transfers and trafficking) and it ensures the survival of the North Korean regime. If she wants to apply pressure against North Korea, it can break all these economic relations. Maybe she will. For the moment, it is inappropriate, because it would create a vacuum at its borders.

If the North Korean provocations go too far, we can consider that China will send envoys to Pyongyang and exert pressure behind the scenes. The question remains whether these pressures will be effective or not, when the North Korean regime is often pointed at his nationalist rhetoric.

What might be the consequences of these new threats on the relationship between the two Koreas?

The new South Korean president is the same political than its predecessor. It is opposed to the resumption of dialogue and unconditional support of his country to North Korea without consideration. His election is recent and has intervened in an already tense, with North Korea conducting a test firing of a long-range missile. When Kim Jong-un was appointed, some hoped, as he was younger, the opportunity arose for strategic developments in North Korea. ? Has not been the case. He remained on the hard military line of his father and his grandfather to assert its legitimacy as a military leader, defending the nation. North Korea wants a dialogue with the South to save time and get help, but she refuses to return an actual control.

It is currently undergoing political and strategic crisis, this does not mean that it must lead to a military crisis. If the crisis is resolved by a successful intercession of China, a phase of dialogue can be reset between the two Koreas.

Street Charlotte de Bourbon Avenue Michiel de Ruyter, William the Silent Avenue … The naming of streets in this part of Amsterdam suburb of West evokes the splendor of the House of Orange-Nassau. Today is a very contemporary debate that shakes the neighborhood and the city: the “halal apartments” in a recently renovated by Eigen Haard complex, one of the main “corporate housing” of the country.

BIN to SHOES “IMPURE”

The newspaper “reveals” – in reality, the project started in 2008 – that housing is provided with a sliding door to separate kitchen (enlarged to allow women to navigate) to the living room, especially reserved for men. A landscaped corridor can also prevent men and women intersect. The bathroom is equipped with a small facility for ablutions before prayer. A locker can store the “impure” shoes, and a parable allows the capture of several hundred each donkeys abroad.

“Total Nonsense”, is …

Before the receipt of Wales at the Stade de France for the second match of the Six Nations, Saturday, Feb. 9, and weeks after the initial defeat in Italy (23-18), Mourad Boudjellal, the president of Toulon Rugby Club, tape fist on the table and calls into question the functioning of the French Federation? comfortable Rugby (FFR).

What did you think of the defeat of the France team in Rome?

Before the game, the staff of the XV of France explained that the Italians were the All Blacks. They tried to promote a victory they thought acquired. But the Frenchman had much trepidation that appetite.

The reason given after the defeat physical unpreparedness and infernal rhythms imposed on international …

We arrived at the end of the system. In Toulon, I have four players in the Blues, one in Wales and two in Georgia [that argument Tournament B]. So I have 50% of my actual owner who failed me. Fifteen years ago, rugby was an amateur: the players were not paid and international cape was a reward. Today, rugby is professional and international co you very dear to his club: between 700 000 and 800 000 annual gross salary. We need to add support for the environment (the entered? Preneurs high-level medical staff, physical trainers …), teammates not too bad because if we do play with trumpets, he will s’ piss … And the French Federation? Comfortable rugby decides unilaterally to suspend the contract of the player that binds the club to select the national team!

But the clubs are compensated?

Yes, absolutely. 500 euros per day per player. This is totally ridiculous. You think only 500 euros per day I can replace a player roughly the same level my international? And for this sum, the FFR relieves you of your employment contract during international periods and wants, above the market, the players observe a rest period when they return to the club. FFR wants pay the players, but they remain at their disposal. Economically, it is unthinkable! Top 14 club is a business. Performance is essential to its development. There are jobs at stake must FFR into account. We are no longer in an associative system! If the FFR fulfills 100% of the remuneration of the player when it is made available to the XV of France, I admit that it can participate in the management of the calendar of the player. But then, you pay an employee and can not have. This is absurd.

Could you bring this case to a civil court to enforce your rights?

I can not not be any wars. I had an important player suspended for the last final of the Top 14 against Toulouse [the All Black Carl Hayman pillar]. We have appealed this decision we felt was outrageous. One type of FFR said: “You have the right for you But it will not play.”. It is a state within a state. They do what they want.

A substantial monetary compensation paid to clubs it solve the problem?

A major part, yes. In England, the federation compensates clubs height of 200 international and 000 per year. If tomorrow, the clubs are compensated at fair value, we can replace our international during their absences and develop their use of a perfect time. It is necessary that we discuss. The renegotiation of the agreement between the League [which depend clubs] and FFR [which manages the team of France] is in progress. But I’m pessimistic. It would be good already, is that the federation keeps saying that if the Blues lose, it is because the Top 14.

Finding common ground is it still possible?

I do not get along too well with Pierre Camou [President of the FFR]. But I’ll tell you a story. For the France-Wales on Saturday, I have re? U no place while I have still five players, paid by me on the lawn. In France, South Africa, in November, I did not re? U invitation either. I bought my ticket, I am restored to chip stall, and got his picture taken with the public who do not understand what I was doing there. When I looked up the official forum, I glimpse invited by the FFR unknown. I talked to Pierre Camou: “How is it possible for you to talk to people we do not know where they go and do not give up the club?” I suggested him to give two office spaces for club officers for each international match. He replied: “But two is enough!” For them, two seats, is too much. However, for us, have not paid salaries for players to take us, it is not much! How do you think the clubs are involved in the history of the XV of France?

FFR could she decide to thirty players under contract, as in Ireland?

It is in any case the idea of ??coach Philippe Saint-Andr??. And the creation of a French championship? Ais provinces is not excluded.

It would be a revolution …

The obstacle is cultural. The France rugby is very attached to the Top 14, which is the best league in the world. Does he have to kill him to favor the France team? I do not know. Honestly, the Top 14 is very competitive with the XV of France.

FFR could she afford to pay salaries thirty players?

The French rugby? Ais is governed by a gargantuan federal system where there is a lot of money. Lavish travel expenses, for example. To paste, supposedly, with the luxury of a great nation of rugby. We, as one moves with Toulon, is housed at the Ibis. The FFR must rethink its budget. It must reduce his lifestyle. And identify priorities.

Therefore, you understand that the FFR wants to build a stadium whose cost is estimated at ? 600 million?

I think liked t he co? Tera 1 billion. Because there must be at least 30% passing. Who will lend money? Greece? ? Para me? Cheeky t. I do not know the case, but I just think common sense. If football officials have not actually seen the loot they generate is that yas surely a reason …

Paul Goze, president of the League, suggests a return to a 16-team league, a Top 16, which further encumber an already overloaded schedule …

I am pleased t support a Top 12, to release dates for the organization of a world championship clubs, for example. And see a match between Stade Toulousain, winner of the European Cup and the Waikato Chiefs, who won the Super 15, rather than a poster t-Toulouse Treviso. Or we can imagine a formula where the four semi-finalists in each competition is playing a tournament. That would be great! The rugby world has been wondering for years what is the strongest club between the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. And nobody knows! It’s still a shame.
