Entire French Government Resigns Ahead Of Ministerial Reshuffle
From BNO: French Prime Minister François Fillon on Saturday offered the
government’s resignation ahead of a long-awaited ministerial reshuffle.
“Pursuant to Article 8 of the Constitution, Mr. François Fillon
presented to the President the resignation of the government,” a
statement from French President Sarkozy’s office said. “The President
accepted the resignation and has terminated the functions of Mr.
François Fillon.”

that's not cool man
why not?
btw - quick question if anyone knows - was Larry Summers suppose to leave after the elections?
did Summers leave already?
who replaced him?
Larry Summers reminds me of that stupid kid who throws an aerosol can on the fire as the children are roasting marshmallows - and then he runs away.
I have no problem with blowing up aerosol cans in the fire, but not with children huddled 'round.
thats a good one - the way he views things, "the children" around are just collateral damage to the aerosol can on fire which MUST go on...
Larry did it to grab all the other kids' marshmallows...
How do you think he became "Fat Larry" Summers...
BTW: Timmay dropped his marshmallow in the dirt, peed his pants and started to cry...
it's just the standard way of doing a cabinet reshuffle: mr fillon will retake his post as prime minister tomorrow and a few ministers will either be moved to other departments or replaced.
why is this even considered newsworthy: zh running out of sensationalist headlines for the weekend? disappointed really
"why is this even considered newsworthy"
Accompanied by dismissive gestures, we all Agree.
Ummm, you guys do know that W asked for the resignations of every member of his cabinet after the election of 2004 right? Some were accepted and some were not. This is standard operating procedure
Really. And WHY in the world would three people flag as junk a post that simply and accurately points out how mundane this non-financial news is? I'd like to hear from the folks that flagged this as to why they think this is important financial news or what about Frog's post they find so objectionable that they flagged it. Geez, get a right-sized world-view people.
I believe that ZH perhaps would also be criticized if it had not reported this. It only takes 3 inches on the screen. What's the problem here?
Then ZH should have reported the headline completely, the gvt just did not resign to make a headline, it resigned as planned 6 months ago to reshuffle people around in the different ministries. Moreover Fillon resigned to be reinstated in the current gvt.
5% of ZH content has to be resolutely non-americocentric. It's in the charter. This article fills today's quota.
that explains it then
;-)
i'd still love to know the reasons why i got junked for telling facts; this place will become a scary place if people take any headline as godsend and don't bother to do their own homework to find the actual truth.
+1 I agree
You are of course correct, on both counts. YAWN.
That M. Fillon will retake his post tomorrow is perhaps, indeed--quite likely, true. But we do not do "cabinet reshuffles" the same way here.
This is obviously a response to Sarkozy's acceptance of the 62-year old retirement age change (and that entire issue is a joke, but requires far too much comment here); there are plainly a number of members of the Assemblee Generale who want to keep their seats. Whether they shall or not is another matter.
I guess i'll be that guy...
So what does this mean? What happens now? Did Sarkozy step down? The way this clip is written it makes me think that the "government" stepped down, but soemhow Sarkozy remains in place given that he's the one accepting the resignation?
they tend to be the ones that get the blame when there is rioting in the streets
"So what does this mean?"
It means no one loses their head...literally ;-)
I was picturing those same guillotines!
It seems to me that in France a t-shirt with the simple image of a guillotine with no other message whatsoever would make a perfect statement. I wonder if anybody is doing that?
I think the 2nd French Revolution could turn out exactly the same as the 1st with a despot (Robespierre) taking over
2nd? I demand a recount. They refer to their current setup as the 5th Republic.
i like this t-shirt!
well idk...imvho, its alot easier to reach out and touch somebody..spread the love. ya know?!
But... "Sarkozy hopes to inject fresh blood into the cabinet to brace up for next presidential election in 2012."
Perhaps the blood from the headless corpses of the "retired" cabinet?
it means zh looking for sensationalist headlines when there should not be one; very sad; it's just a trivial event, ie a cabinet reshuffle
What makes french sound so funny is their unabashed cowardice.
What does this mean?
Nothing. Under the French 5th republic constitution, this is the standard process by which the President (Sarkozy) reshuffles his government (Fillon, the Prime minister, and the cabinet of ministers).
Did Sarkozy step down?
Nope, he is just reshufling his government, as he anounced already 6 months ago that he would be doing so. This is not a government "collapse" as Tyler seems to think, but a mere technicality.
French Frog is correct there is nothing to see here. The French government always resigns ahead of a change of government. This has already happened 13 times during the 5th republic (ie since 1959).
The French Constitution is in some respects similar to ours, but it demands in reality a mixed "Head of State"/Parliamentary government. M. Sarkozy is the President, elected for a 7 year term; he can be re-elected for another 7 year term, but he cannot step down. He is the Head of State. The Prime Minister, on the other hand, is the Head of Parliament, and the Leader of the majority party(ies), usually a coalition in France. When a decisive political event occurs, he can call the government (Assemblee Generale, or parliament) down. Then a nationwide vote occurs.
In effect, it's not terrifically different from the UK government; the Queen is the Head of State (and the Church), but she holds that office for life, and under a Constitutional Monarchy, is not allowed to make much noise, if any, about politics. Parliament takes care of that.
In France, the Presidency remains a semi-regal role, absent the religious requirement, but it does have a very vivid political element. The stage for this was set essentially by Napoleon as First Consul, and has not really changed all that much since then.

Hah, you wish Smailes. Or by 'dollars' did you mean CAD, or AUD? Surely you weren't referring to worth-ever-less USD?
Hell mb this time around the le harde would like something with absolutely zero 'counter party liability' rather than pretty printed bitz of fiat paper debt; can you offer any viable suggestions Smailesy? Non?
Well I sure can...

I guess not, then. On the other hand:
"If I had a thousand ounces...
(if I had a thousand ounces)"
I think next quarters numbers are going to suprise.JMO(manufacturing is picking up all across chicago) Dollar denominated debt needs to be serviced in the future, global businesses and even countries continue to issue bonds using dollar denominated debt/millions and millions every day. Everytime we have a global issue the dollar always finds a bid, safe haven .... Oil is tied in with the dollars seeing we just sold saudi 60 billion in weapons with another 90 billion for her friends this oil peg is not changing, global trade(shipping letters of credit or related forms of financing and guarantees such as trade credit insurance. International shipping works on “letters of credit.”), global finance all this global debt needs servicing in dollars.. The
All this churn will keep a floor/bid under the dollar.
The securitization market is broken and trillions of debt/housing/credit card/all types of loans all leveraged 100-1 all gone is sitting offbalance sheet with the banks, the deflation created by this will last a long time they will be taking this down over many,many years creating a need for dollars ...
"Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" lays out the way countries are brought under the dollars spell .. billions in energy projects/grid, water projects... .
In the whole creditor/debtor relationship, smailes, who is in the driver's seat? Who's wearing the pants? Who holds all the cards? Who is 'The House'?
Well, if you were a creditor we certainly all have a pretty good idea what would be your preferred currency of payment. However I am willing to wager that, unfortunately for you, there are a lot of much, much larger creditors out there than yourself, and that even some of those owed USD who wouldn't mind, would even likely prefer, receiving all sorts of assets as payment in lieu of your precious FRN's. Au/Ag are just as fungible as any fiat currency, and (it bears repetition) devoid of counter-party liability.
Try to be objective for a fraction of a second smailes, and ask yourself what creditor in his right mind would prefer taking payment that is a debt owed from a dying hegemony vs a hard asset free and clear...
Denominate debt in whatever currency you want, but from the perspective of a creditor who is much more in the position of power to decide method of payment (rather than the debtor who'd best play ball), they are all fungible, which negates your argument completely.
Yes, guns might still be to some creditor's heads, sure, but not all, and not necessarily for much longer.
They have debt denominated in dollars. They service this debt/ make debt payments in dollars. They have no choice. Oils not moving off the peg. The only way they can buy this oil is in dollars. The global banking/derivative market is dominated by dollars. Hence the swap lines. The non stop pounding on his door for more ...
Things will stay this way until war/global reset.
If I had $500,000 yep I would have 50-100 in gold myself. Your not going to wake up and find gold down 50% but you could with most stocks ect ....

"Confessions of an Economic Hit Man"
"Covertly recruited by the United States National Security Agency and on the payroll of an international consulting firm, he traveled the world—to Indonesia, Panama, Ecuador, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Iran and other strategically important countries...Perkins reveals the hidden mechanics of imperial control behind some of the more dramatic events in recent history, such as the fall of the Shah of Iran, the death of Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos, and the U.S. invasions of Panama and Iraq."[3]
According to his book, Perkins' function was to convince the political and financial leadership of underdeveloped countries to accept enormous development loans from institutions like the World Bank and USAID. Saddled with debts they could not hope to pay, those countries were forced to acquiesce to political pressure from the United States on a variety of issues. Perkins argues in his book that developing nations were effectively neutralized politically, had their wealth gaps driven wider and economies crippled in the long run. In this capacity Perkins recounts his meetings with some prominent individuals, including Graham Greene and Omar Torrijos. Perkins describes the role of an EHM as follows:
I understand 100% with what you are saying, I agree the dollar is poop but they must all play the game they are stuck with it ...
MB, we'll see. An abrupt, practically simultaneous 'realization' by the lion's share of the world's population is completely possible in light of current communications capabilities.
And FWIW: Those books by John Perkins, through outlining exactly how 20-21st century imperialism functions and propagates, also illustrate precisely how to defend against and/or dismantle the same, complete with successful examples. I highly recommend reading them to anyone who has the chance. Your local library should carry them if you don't wish to pay.
JMHO,natch.

This seems to happen pretty often in France. They have had quite a few different Republics since the original Revolution. Can we assume this is in response to the riots?
no; if you'd bother to google it you'd see it is an absolute non-event
Or you could use Snopes or Media Matters if you want unbiased information.

Nope. Sarkozy already anounced 6 months ago that he would proceed with a change of government once the retirement reform has been promulgated.
Just for future reference, WB, in Europe we call him Sarko.
I think since it's a dog he tried to merge "Sarko" with "Sparky"
Say, isn't 'Sarkozy' a Hungarian name, anyway?

That's not what this is, it's just the cabinet dissolving. (prime minister + the entire gaggle of other ministers) They'll have to hold a new election, that's all. Happens in European countries all the time. :p (maybe Canada too, dunno)
"Happens all the time"? Nothing to see here, please move along.
Tell me, when was the last time any of the EU countries had a full cabinet resignation? Plenty of them have had Parliamentary shakeups due to shifting party balances in Parliament, but I for one can't remember the last time any sitting Party simply en masse RESIGNED. When was the last time before this, can you tell me? What country was it?
RE
This has happened already 13 times in France during the 5th republic (since 1959). Every time there is a change of government, the prime minster presents the enire resignation of his cabinet to the president. Standard procedure.
No "collapse", no "response to the riots", no "new elections", no "parliamentary shakeup", just a mere technicality.
Sooo...chrisina,
When you were here, a mere few weeks ago, extolling the virtues of socialist government intervention in labor relations vis a vis the trains running on time or the state controlled energy consumed by them to allow them to run on time in France...everything still workin out OK over there as far as transportation?
Just checkin ;-)
As of now ... Yes. Was a mess during the strikes but hopefully those happen less than 1% of the time. So what's best? Trains running well, on time and at a much lower cost / mile travelled for 99% of the time or a suboptimal, inefficient, antiquated privatized rail system like in the UK for 100% of the time.
NB : gazoline distribution and raffinery is in private hands in France, didn't seem to prevent strikes from blocking the situation.
"So what's best? Trains running well, on time and at a much lower cost / mile travelled for 99% of the time..."
Well...there's the rub.
There is no way to quantify the true cost per mile traveled when something is subsidized by government...the true cost disappears into the black hole of taxpayer subsidization...even the accountants used to try to quantify the cost would be taxpayer funded to some extent.
Also, the cost of it's operation would have to include it's past workers (pensioners) in the real world of private business. I doubt very seriously they are shown as a liability of it's continuing operation...more than likely these fall into a former government worker category completely separate from it's daily operation.
So...again, I humbly request ya'll send Francois the Accountant over to Amtrak to enlighten those poor foolish souls on the finer points of off book accounting ;-)
By the way...we in Fla. are looking to kill this POS subsidized boondoggle as well;

I don't believe there is a need for parliamentry approval of ministers in France, of which the PM is one. Therefore, it all amounts to the same, absolutely nothing, I think.

After months of criticism over belt-tightening reforms to the pension system and his decision to expel thousands of Roma from France, French President Nicolas Sarkozy is being accused of taking a page from former U.S. president Richard Nixon’s playbook.
The accusations, which involve a series of break-ins at journalists’ homes and offices, the use of detailed phone bills to track down journalists’ sources, and reports that Mr. Sarkozy set up and supervised a special unit of the secret service to spy on journalists, are grabbing headlines across France. And journalists are sounding the alarm, saying that Mr. Sarkozy has engaged the French secret service in order to stop them from reporting on allegations of widespread government corruption.

If it doesnt we get to shoot again..Bullish
So you are saying it is all a bunch of "bull?" ;-)
Slow down guys, this event was totally expected and planned. A french president term include several government changes. We knew this one was to happen after the pension reform.
Tyler, you forgot the second sentence of the article you quote from. As follows:
'The government's resignation is a traditional formality, allowing the head of state to pick new ministers without having to fire his existing team.'
Not much more to be said.
Joyandet resigned after allegedly renting a private jet in March to attend an international aid conference on Haiti in Martinique, a southern French island, which cost 116,500 euros (146,230 dollars). Additionally, Joyandet came under political fire for misusing his political power to obtain an illegal building permit to expand his home in Saint Tropez, a town to the east of Marseille in southeastern France.
Joyandet was appointed to his position in March 2008 and was the CEO of a French publisher of weekly newspapers and journals prior to that.
Blanc resigned for charging 1,200 euros (1,506 dollars) a month to his standard ministry’s budget to buy cigars. He did so for ten months, costing the state 12,000 euros (15,062 dollars).

I d love to see our govt resign. But they can't get jobs anywhere else
They can sign infinite unemployment insurance into law before quitting. Problem solved...
I don't think you have to serve in Gov't until you're 65 (68,75 or whatever age it is that 'austerity' dictates for the peons these days) to recieve a full pension anyway; depending on the position, I believe it can be as little as 4 years on the payroll and you're set for life! Even less in some countries! Nice 'work', if you can get it.

Off topic but speaking(rant) of the GM IPO, I posted a comment on a YAHOO AP article they posted on their site regarding (more like touting) the ipo. I didnt swear or anything, but I pointed out the article was obvious propaganda.
The theme of the article was that the ipo will make the market surge, and also implied the little guy might be lucky to buy some shares before the big boys scarfed em up. This imo was also a common tactic used by marketers to create the illusion of scarcity. Also not a single peep of a very plausible possiblility, if they get the ipo off at all, is the little guy luckily getting his shares just like the big money only to have the rug pulled out with the HFT bandits going from "pump" to "dump" mode in miliseconds.
Basically the AP was helping tout the ipo with a one sided story, and not reporting news in a neutral manner,imo.
Anyway my comment was met with "internal error" no code given and not posted. However my yahoo mail works fine. Just a glitch or time to don the tin foil hat? Is backtalking the AP considered a breach of terms of service? It could be construed so. So the AP gets to manipulate public perceptions and Yahoo gets to further manipulate the supposed public thoughts on the article and delete comments that question the integrity of the story? Baghdad Bob would be impressed.
rant off and back to the topic, sorry.
Fox is doing the same thing now too.. Not so blatent as "internal error" on your comment, but they are searching every comment for key words and blocking anything on the list with "your comment must be approved by a moterator". I started stripping out what I though the words may be and it finally posted. I guess Obama is a dirty word.
I have gotten the "internal error" from Yahoo! too. But then again I hate Yahoo! even more than MSNBC and FOX so when I comment I pretty much preface with "your shitty news site.. etc.. etc..". I stopped reading there. Reading their news is like having a threesome with Nancy Pelosi, Barny Frank, and Chris Dodd..
Fazzie, thank you for that. that the beauty of this site. many here shed a little light and yours is also welcome. Its the beauty of this site.
Zerohedge providers...THANK YOU!
