Pension reform: a major risk for Hollande?

Pension reform: a major risk for Hollande?

Three years ago, France's ruling Conservatives reformed the state pension system, by pushing the legal retirement age up from 60 to 62, prompting howls of protest from the Socialists. Now, the Socialists are in power and they are angling for a reform to try to salvage the cash-strapped pay-as-you-go system. The reform is likely to resemble the one they so vividly blasted in 2010. In other words, the French will have to work longer and their pensions are likely to be less generous.

Family benefits: the end of the French model?

It is a running joke in France: the only thing working in this country is making babies. The French have more children than most of their neighbours, thanks in large part to a family policy laden with incentives. But in these tough economic times, generous welfare policies are being downsized. This week, the government announced that tax breaks for families with children will be reduced, prompting an outcry from the opposition.

Islam and secularism: can it work?

Islam in France has for years been a sensitive issue. It once again grabbed headlines this week when a convert to Islam stabbed a French soldier, just a few days after a similar attack in London. In a much less dramatic way, the way in which Muslims live and work in France has also become a topic of discussion, with several bills now before parliament. For the first time, a major survey on religious demands in the workplace has been conducted and provides interesting answers.

Fight against tax fraud: is it for real?

In Washington, Brussels and Paris, one issue has taken centre stage: tax evasion. While US senators grilled Apple executives for avoiding high taxes, European leaders vowed to crack down on fraud and French lawmakers looked into a recent scandal involving a government minister.

Hooligans in Paris: a government blunder?

Interior minister Manuel Valls has been a rare shining star in the socialist government. However this week, he has come under withering criticism from the opposition for the violent incidents that have marked the celebrations of the championship win of the Paris football team. So, did the government blunder or is the Right playing politics?

gay 'marriage'.

by Anonyme - 22/06/2011 - 09:59

Love is not the issue at all, I suspect no one would deny the participants in homosexual, or even just same gender, but platonic relationships the right to become engaged with one another, but 'marriage', per se is not a matter for same gender couples.

There is absolutely nothing preventing people making legal arrangements to ensure the relationship is fully protected as far as property and personal safety is concerned without entering into the domain of 'marriage' recognised in the same manner as that between heterosexual couples.

The whole legal framework of 'marriage' has been established to ensure the birthrights of the family, which means children, and succeeding generations, having property and genetic values established and maintained.

Marriage has need to be even more rigidly protected from being warped by the claims of the homosexual fraternity, far more so whilst under the current round of attacks emanating from that fraternity.

'Love' does not even come into the arena,such an emotion is hardl;y, if actually recognised in nthe legality of trhe marriage contract. to make such claim is just another attemptm too undermine that contract.

Homosexuals can leave 'marriage' out of their agenda, and opt instead for some sort of civil contract, which may or may not parallel the established 'marriage' contract. but debasing that contract by allowing equal status is nothing short of an attempt to destruct the legitimate principles of millennia.

Gay Marriage in France

Anne Boring, Secretary General Foundation Égalité is correct, Gay Marriage will continue to be an issue until homosexual men and women attain equal rights. Children within a marriage is not the debate and surrogate motherhood is a blessing also for straight couples who can't have children, so this argument by Bruno Vecrkin is quite silly. The humiliation has indeed grown intolerable and gay people will continue to push back. Was the word "Love" mentioned even once? Isn't that the reason for marriage?
