This
article was written on 27th March 2012 by a Libération
journalist and deals with a great novelty in an election campaign:
the creation of the first political Web radio: Radio Hollande. It is
the Web radio of the Socialist presidential candidate which, since
the 26th March 2012, has broadcast every day from 6 pm to 7:30 pm
live from the HQ of François Hollande’s campaign; Every French
person can listen to the Socialist programme for the presidential
election. Radio Hollande is a Web radio where Socialists talk of
France to the French.
François
Hollande launched his official presidential election campaign speech:
“Each
nation has a spirit and that of France is equality. It’s for
equality that France had its Revolution and abolished privileges on
the night of August 4th
1789! It's for equality that the Third Republic introduced compulsory
school and the income tax! It's for equality that the Popular Front
worked in 1936! It's for equality that the Government of General de
Gaulle introduced social security in 1945! It is for equality that
François Mitterrand was elected! It's for equality that Lionel
Jospin launched general medical care!
The
issue of this campaign is France! A France of labour, merit, effort,
initiative, diversity! A France of security for all! A France of
Justice where Money will be given its rightful place, which is as
servant and not as master! A France of solidarity where none of the
children of the Nation will be left out! A France where the rights of
the individual will be based on the equality of all! That's the
choice that awaits you! The recovery is now! Justice is now, hope is
now! The Republic is now! Change is now! Long live the Republic and
long live France!”
Hollande
sets the tone of his project, a project based on recovery, justice,
the Republic, a project for France with real equality, equality
being the very soul of France!
By
attacking on all fronts, François Hollande appears, in my opinion,
to be the candidate most likely to be elected President.
If you
are already 18, do not just watch the results, go to the polls on
22nd
April and then again on the 6th
May!
