Mitterrand 30 YEARS AGO WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF FRANCE
"' I gave my order voters cast blank ballots because they could not give my support to Mr Giscard which is solely responsible for the division of the Gaullists and the Socialists to income power. But like any French Lucid not mean I do not know what Mr. François Mitterrand as president, if before we were leaving bad now headed toward communism. " On Monday 11, when France had declared its first socialist president of the Fifth Republic , Marie-France Garaud, leader of the Gaullist strip uncontaminated, drew its first conclusions. With good reason: in just 23 years Valéry Giscard d'Estaing had shattered the Gaullist : of that overwhelming 78.5 percent in 1958 had led to Charles de Gaulle to the presidency of France, Giscard had retained only a 47.93 percent who left Secondly, to 4.13 percent-Mitterrand in elections on Sunday 10. The second conclusion was no less serious: a clear economic program and sign the necessary alliance with the Communist Party - upon which to rule-making that Mitterrand could only expect a critical target for France.

But the difficulty of this stage is the appointment of prime minister but the formation of the cabinet. And here is the key to the future French: between the two rounds of elections the Communist Party decided to dump its 15.34 per cent for Mitterrand not say publicly what were their demands to not scare off the center-left voters. But we know that Georges Marchais-en plural wants ministries in return for that support. The new president's choice is an iron, if appointed Communist ministers now is likely in the June legislative socialism lost the votes of undecided voters who supported him on Sunday, 10, on the other hand, if common names in the cabinet after the new legislature is formed, the alliance between Socialists and Gaullists would be impossible. On the contrary, if not name Marchais Communist ministers may order the pass to the opposition, which is to say that the strikes in France and shaken in Parliament will vote on each law a painful birth between alliances will vary depending on the content of each of the proposed texts.

economic program (Mitterrand) has three fundamental points that do not differ in any way from that proposed by Salvador Allende in Chile:
-Fold unemployment. Mitterrand believed that the recovery in consumption by increasing purchasing power-up by decree of the minimum wage, retirement and pension payments will reduce the rate of unemployment (1.7 million unemployed). Activation of public works, creating 150 000 new jobs in the state bureaucracy and the reduction of the working week from 40 to 35 hours to complete the package first. Reset
-price controls on certain products. Socialist election platform said that it would impose control ' for the recovery in consumption not have inflationary effects. " As in the Chilean government of Allende, the Marxist theorists say the wage increase is not a measure of inflation, but experience suggests otherwise. This second package includes the gradual introduction of a tax on large fortunes, so far there was no clarification, "the reduction of direct taxes on small contributors, another of the first steps of Allende and the removal value added tax on basic necessities.
(...) Dangerous Liaisons
Day: September 20, 1978. The place: the French Socialist Party headquarters. The reason: Launch of ' a campaign of solidarity with the Argentine people '. Participants: François Mitterrand, Jaime Fernando Vaca Narvaja and Dri. In the same table, the current president of France and two of the fugitive leaders of the band Montoneros. Mitterrand may have no information about their casual partners. But presented them as guerrillas no doubt. Mitterrand in recent times has condemned terrorism, especially the Palestinian. But as it happened on the campaign trail, where the Jewish vote is important, is the right to cast doubt on true principles. "
