Yes here comes the time for courage truth risk

The France is down. She is afraid. And fear is a bad counselor. She nails the desire to undertake, to invest, to believe in the future. It hides the inertia under the discreet veil of prudence. While the crisis takes us by the throat. After warming, waves of terrorism, the war of power, this is now the financial crisis in the United States pending the contagion in Europe. The reasons for to abandon us to the welfare or despair identify us.

Then, more than ever for sixty years, on this anniversary of the Fifth Republic, it is the time of the policy. Of those who were chosen by the French to represent them and manage their common Affairs. Must be that the political does either not itself mired in a fear permanently, in the management of its internal conflicts, in implementing its ambitions in the sordid music but deaf and constant desire to please rather that be used. Yes, here comes the time for courage, truth, risk. Yes, the surge is possible. He simply expected that people of good will stand up and have the notch, the audacity to summon the political class, tendencies, to stop struggling with the accessory and immediately find ways and means of a consensus on the priority and topics vital to the future of our country. The election of a new President of the Senate offers the best opportunity. Since the constitutional reform of last July, the Parliament has seen its powers strengthened to balance the progressive presidentialization of the Fifth Republic. The National Assembly shortly to emancipate because its electoral calendar is bolted on to the President of the Republic, the election almost mechanically fixed the colour of the majority. The Senate is more free. His calendar is autonomous. His three-year pace perfectly ICES to designs of medium and long term. The high Assembly cannot censure the Government and cannot be dissolved. That is, if it is absolutely able to assert its authority and independence. It depends on to it.

Its new President must position themselves before the election, on this fundamental question of independence from the Executive branch. Senate orders would be pointless. A counterforce Senate would be irreplaceable and providential. It is able tomorrow to ask essential conditions to its support to the President of the Republic as to his Government. For example ensure the return to the balance of our public accounts in 2012 and refuse all text that would differ in maturity. Claim the sharing ways to control, inspection and evaluation bodies currently placed only available to the Government. Driving the construction of the simplification of the law, source of the slowdown of the growth and societal and institutional blockages. Taming the European legislation, the modeler to obey to the real needs of citizens. Fly the territorial restructuring fearful by the packing of structures. Modernizing parliamentary democracy so that each is legitimate that their representatives agree on the essentials and cease tear and split on the evidence. Finally, inventing "the new Senate", this high Assembly who dares say not when the Government wanders, and who knows no barguigner each strong and courageous decision to say Yes. The burst which France a need will not descend as the Holy Spirit on the senators. Must be solemnly placed in their historical responsibilities, tolerating more small arrangement between friends, but demanding, conversely, for transparency and exclusive research of general interest. I know, it requires a minimum of risk. To take a position. Of anger. Not to please a moment to the princes that govern as to their small marquis. Tomorrow, the senators have the choice to promote the Democratic surge long-awaited by the French and the French.
