Nicolas Sarkozy or François Hollande? Who is the best one  to France?

This time has been difficult to France because of European crisis. So as to avoid the consequences of it, Nicolas and Hollande developed different solutions that are discussed in their debates. There are two extreme points of view: right and left. Nicolas means tradition; in contrast, Hollande is innovation.

In the last debate between them, Hollande said to Sarcozy that he was in favor of rich people all the time due to the fact that he abolished the high fortunes tax. From the other side, Nicolas said that maintaining this kind of tax nowadays is outdated, because investments start going out of the country.

Another important topic discussed was social inclusion. I mean, poor people need to be better included in social services in order to reach a good life quality. This is welfare state. This sort of policy is a guarantee of intern and global economic and political success.

In the end of the discussions François Hollande won. Guess what? He is the new French president. Surprising? I do not think so – in spite of the small vote difference; French people were crazy about changes, especially in terms of minimum salary, and houses. So, according to some citizens, this is a wonderful restart.

 Probably the new govern in France will be better, but globally we must have concerns about changing because it affects all of us. As Norberto Bobbio once said: we live in a “aldeia global”. What does it mean? If a society suffers economically or politically, the world will suffer together. So, elections in France have an impact in the world. If Hollande is good to France, he will be good to us.
