Les Echos - Francja | Wtorek, 22. Lipiec 2008

France a middling power

The business newspaper Les Echos comments on the consequences of the restructuring of the French army: "France has still not understood that it is no longer a major power. ... The insecurity [of the military] is greater than the voluntaristic image created and maintained by Nicolas Sarkozy since his election campaign conveys, and which has no doubt kept the Bonapartistic dream of a strong and proud France alive. ... When the French said 'no' to the new European constitution in 2005, many of them were convinced they did not need Europe and that by putting up barriers at their borders they could protect themselves from a menacing world. ... If [France] wants to occupy a leading position once more it must combine its talents and strengths with those of other European nations. Europe is no longer an option, it is a necessity."
