For Avraham Burg, anti-Semitism is no longer unique
Following the publication of the French translation of his book 'Defeating Hitler', Avraham Burg, former Speaker of the Knesset, was interviewed by Vincent Remy on his vision of modern anti-Semitism. "We are witnessing a fusion of classic religious anti-Semitism and a new extreme right-wing xenophobia. The two work together with the anti-American and anti-Zionist extreme left-wing. But I think that anti-Semitism is no longer a unique phenomenon, it's an indication of a society's moral quality. When it is expressed in a democratic society, it is accompanied by other expressions of hate and xenophobia: against Muslims, foreigners, immigrants. So, my role as a Jew and human being, it's not to say 'they hate me more.' It's to try to create a sort of worldwide coalition that will counter the hate and xenophobia rather than confiscate and monopolise it."

The specifics of the French trade union movement
In an interview with Vincent Remy, the political scientist Dominique Andolfatto explains why French trade unionism has developed through protest, not negotiation. "One of the obstacles to negotiations is our interventionist fortress State and its elites sitting snugly in their certitudes. This State, which acts at its will, without consulting unions or intermediary bodies, does not encourage a form of trade unionism centred on professional questions. Some trade unionists who consider employers as class enemies turn to the State as soon as a problem arises in work relations, which further complicates things. They seek a political answer to professional questions. Thus, unlike in Germany and England, a powerful trade union movement has been put at a disadvantage in France."

Philippe Lemoine considers Internet as a universe for encounters
The start-up founder Philippe Lemoine defends the creative potential of Internet users in an interview with Jean-Philippe Pisanias and Vincent Remy. "For elitist culture, if the floodgates are opened too wide, idiocy surfaces along with opinions. And yet, what is it that enthrals young Internet users? The knowledge that they are not alone in the world asking questions which have no answers in proven words, books and theories, that there's the possibility of meeting other people asking themselves the same questions. Without mentioning collective intelligence, this is a universe of encounters that is not exclusively a mouthpiece for opinion, but somewhere for feelings and desires for something different to be pooled. If you don't recognise that, you don't understand Internet."
