There's no chance of finding a political solution in France through any kind of party intervention. The explosion will be a social one, and perhaps then the partys will be able to overcome the divisions they have established.

The main one is to make people believe that the Rassemblement National is racist when it opposes massive, unskilled, economically unassimilable immigration.

The left signals its virtue by demanding exactly the opposite, a wide-opening of borders that destroys its popular base.

We've built an anti-national left that thinks of itself as "internationalist". And we've tipped the popular masses in favor of a reactionary, economically and socially liberal right.

I'll tell you a personal anecdote from a very big strike that lasted 3 months. We were united in action, and one of my close comrades was an ex-French Algerian, whereas I came from a pro-independence family. In other circumstances, he would have killed me, he told me. But we were brothers in social action.

I found the interview useful and informative but do sympathize with your critique of the journalists and the questions asked. That said, Minister Siluanov

Another adult in the room! Russia is doing well.

Siluanov talks like a 1950s era US Finance official. There were plenty around rgwn. Thirty years ago I sat next to a senior US Treasury official traveling to Mexico City to assist with the latest peso crisis. Competent as all can be. His entourage showed up with a few limousines at the tarmac and whisked him away. Never mind Customs.
