	French polls fever fuels euro backlash - Boston.com
		With elections looming, France is leading a backlash against Europe's eight-year-old monetary union and the hard currency that has crowned it since Jan. 1, 2002.
		Taking their cue from the 2005 referendum in which French voters torpedoed the EU's draft constitution, French politicians of all stripes are now training their periscopes on the European Central Bank and its French president, Jean-Claude Trichet, in the final months before French presidential and legislative polls.
		French President Jacques Chirac, who is thought unlikely to stand for re-election in April, took a swipe at the ECB last week, saying Europe needed a policy that worked not only to combat inflation but was also good for growth and employment.

	The 2007 French Presidential Election — A Jewish Magazine, an Interfaith Movement
		While it’s necessary to reform the French labor code (the sacrosanct “Code du Travail”), it must be revisited to obligate employers to hire vulnerable minorities, and thus to assuage the legitimate yearnings of the alienated class.
		While the November 2005 riots were used as an excuse by Villepin to concoct a frontal assault on worker’s rights, neither the CPE itself (nor in fact its vociferous opponents) ever challenged the dynamic of discrimination and the conceptual as well as practical shortcomings of the integration myth.
		It was far easier — or so the French President believed — to cut the grass from under Le Pen’s feet by pulling a popular, gung-ho law-and-order “Sarko” out of his beret than it was to address the root causes of insecurity: the staggering levels of unemployment in immigrant suburbs.

		French diplomats say that M Chirac is expected to urge other countries to proceed with ratification because France does not want to be seen to be blocking the European project.
