	The Militant - 4/6/98 -- Regional Elections In France Register Political Polarization
		PARIS - The elections for 22 regional councils and council presidents that took place across France in mid-March marked an increasing political polarization and a greater fracturing of the conservative coalition of President Jacques Chirac's Rally for the Republic (RPR) and the Union for French Democracy (UDF).
		The election results are an expression of the crisis facing capitalists in France, as they confront increased resistance to their austerity measures at home and savage competition from rival imperialist powers abroad.
		This is similar to the results of the 1997 national legislative elections and 1995 presidential vote, and an increase over the 13.9 percent the FN obtained in the previous regional elections in 1992.

		Since 1982, following the French government's policy of decentralization, they have elected regional councils with powers similar to those of the régions of metropolitan France.
		As a result of a constitutional revision which occurred in 2003, these régions are now to be called régions d'outre-mer; indeed the new wording of the Constitution aims to give no precedence to either appelation département or région d'outre-mer, though the second one is still virtually unused by French media.

	Charles de Gaulle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles de Gaulle resigned the presidency on April 28, 1969 following the defeat of his referendum to transform the Senate (upper house of the French parliament, wielding less power than the National Assembly) into an advisory body while giving extended powers to regional councils.
		De Gaulle was convinced that a strong and independent France could act as a balancing force in the rivalry between the US and the Soviet Union, a policy seen as little more than posturing and opportunism by his critics, particularly in Britain and the U.S., to which France was formally allied.
		De Gaulle, claiming that the word "unacceptable" was unacceptable, promptly cancelled the remainder of his visit, and returned to France where he was also heavily criticised by a large part of the French media.

	Vatican II: 40 years later: A Council Primer
		Until the strong centralization of the papacy at the end of the first millennium, many of these regional councils were called at the bishops’ own initiative; in some cases the pope was not even notified, or learned of their respective deliberations when the news finally made its way to Rome, sometime after several years.
		In the West, the most popular place for councils was Italy, followed by France as a distant second: Lateran councils I through V and Vatican I and II were held in Rome, and one was held in Florence.
		The Acts of the Apostles records the church’s first official council: the council of Jerusalem in 51 A.D. There the early church, under Peter’s leadership (following his own personal “conversion” experience on the topic), decided that converts to the new Christian faith were not to be obliged to make their entry through Judaism.

Imports reached AS$ 880,000 in 1991-2 but have been at zero from 1996-7 to 1999-2000.
