Should Poles care who becomes French President or is it irrelevant?

to close subject, I have intevened in public because of lack of knowledge made in public about topic most on this thread know nothing about. Some of you don't even know names of candidates. It is NOT Le PenN but Le Pen, which means "the head" in Briton (Celtic language spoken in Brittany) and the Le Pens are not extreme LEFT but extreme RIGHT and Hollande is not a communist but a social-democrat (French socialist party = SPD in Germany, Labour in GB, ... and even close to Democrats in the US) so why talking about a topic on the net one does not know ?

Yes, sarko made 48% but France is a democracy and it's always like that - things are not style ..... 90 to 10 ;). Yes, it's very low for sarko due to his big bucks machine and his friends' owned + controlled media and also as he'd had been running for election for almost 5 years.

Just for info, check who voted for Hollande and who voted for sarko and you'll see who means the future ;)

Why in the world do you make a personal thing out of it? Hollande has won and that's it and because of France's weight in Europe and the world, you'll have to cope with it. Tusk who boycotted him shall have now to meet with him and that's all. This is called .... DEMOCRACY and apparently you have trouble with idea = your problem

fyi, sarko shall lose his imnuity on June 16 and shall start being questioned by several judges (L'Oréal, Karachigate, Kaddafi, etc etc etc..... )

I have just commented upon post since 1. I'm French, 2. I've voted for Hollande and 3. I live in Poland.

Case closed and "Bonne chance François ! :)"

What gives you the funny idea that you have to be French to have an opinion about the election in France?


Part of living in a democracy is to accept different opinions; something you obviously haven't learned yet.

Did Warszawette just sign up to the forum to post 'her truth,' say the topic is closed and then never post again?

Before you retreat, could you say how the result of elections will influence Polish French relations?

French election 'good for Poland' - An advisor to Poland’s president has said that the victory of Francois Hollande in the French presidential elections is a good choice “for France, Poland and Europe.” Prof. Roman Kuzniar told reporters this morning Hollande will not radically change French foreign policy. Hollande is a very centrist socialist and a convinced European," he said.

Witam!

Thanks for finally intelligent comments! Yes, there is nothing to be scarred of for Europe, the world and even France with new President. Yes, French socialist party - like all those in Western Europe - are social-democrats and obviously have nothing in common with those who ruled Eastern Europe before 1989 but there is a lot of ignorance (incl. on this forum.....). Yesterday, I had to explain to a Pole, whom I had thought intelligent.

The world is relieved: arrogant and incompetent blingbling sarko is out :). No one is "scarred" of the "socialists" ;)

Have a good day!

PS: Paris stock exchange was up yesterday ;) "lol"

Typical French arrogance


France is bankrupt

Again, a fallacy.

PARIS - France - Like rats jumping from a sinking ship, the rich French are leaving the country as the socialist election win becomes a reality leaving many in the lurch.

One thing that is normal in business and finance is that socialists make stock markets go down and right wingers make it go up. In the case of Sarkozy, even though he was a right winger, he still managed to cock up the markets, but the general rule usually remains about the markets. Socialists are only good at spending other people's money, and when that runs out they just put the taxes up to huge levels.

As they did before the Nazis :(

It is high time we forgive them, just like we forgave Nazis.

It's very magnanimous of you Pawian. I'm in no position to forgive the French. That's up to the French. I'm just stating a well-known fact.

This is why France and Poland should get on well.
Also why so many people find it very difficult to love france.
FYI, Je parle enough francias pour les Lulz, Azincourt et Crecy et Waterloo being les case en pointe ;)

Hollande has a substantial support in French Parliament as socialists won the majority.

They have vowed to increase the state`s expenditure to boost economy. Of course, at the cost of growing deficit.

But Mr Hollande's credibility on the European stage will be dependent on his ability to manage France's own tough economic and fiscal challenges. He is insistent he will control France's debt, which is approaching 90 per cent of gross domestic product, by reducing the budget deficit to 3 per cent of GDP next year.

Potential deep cuts in France's huge public spending bill - which accounts for 56 per cent of GDP - will have to be made in the 2013 budget. But the new government has avoided any detail on this highly sensitive issue until it has safely negotiated the elections.

What is worse, the guy is planning to use structural funds which should be allocated to new EU countries, including Poland.
He wants €55bn from the EU's structural funds, plus €60bn raised through leveraging €10bn in new capital for the European Investment Bank, and €5bn in "project bonds" to be deployed in areas such as new technologies, renewable energy, transport and other infrastructure, with an emphasis on targeting youth employment.

The most important factor for me is whether France will continue to join NATO and rape innocent countries by bombing them and forcibly installing dictators who are worst than those they replaced.

Sarkozy was clearly insane much like Cameron.
Hollande is economically socialist. I personally do not care there but he too has stated he would consider attacking Syria/Iran. He probably licks Israels nuts just like Obama/Bush/etc did.

Everyone seems to be socially left wing which is a shame.

In the end I would probably try something new regardless of what happens. Le Pen perhaps was different (for better or worst is up to the individual).

In the end France is dying and none of these leaders will change that.

The news that President Hollande went on holidays by train, instead of a jet plane, has been translated and put on Polish news portal.
