> Transport and Environment ...

Transportation is a major player in the economic vitality and development of our territory but it is potentially creator of a nuisance, like the famous greenhouse gas emissions, blamed for global warming.

The government has tried through, including its environmental Grenelle, set rules such as assigning a bonus or penalty to vehicles purchased new or used during the realization of the gray card. This fee is at least debatable on the merits because we know a car rejects an average of 150 g CO ² / km against 800 to 900 g for a truck based on its tonnage ... Besides vehicles subject to this "environmental bonus" are very often small cars that have only 3 or 4-star crash-test EuroNCAP! Therefore one could almost say that on one hand the government wants to strengthen road safety (this should not only through repression and deterrence of law enforcement), and other measures to encourage the purchase of vehicles less "reassuring" ... The big problem

emission Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation of more goods that are at 80% by road, against just 12% by train on average over the national territory. In the Vosges, including the 3rd district, the numbers are even more desperate because we have logically or river and air transport but the freight station is virtually reduced to nil since the closure Station Remiremont goods since December 2004 ... let alone stop for a long time all rail traffic in the valleys of the Moselle and Moselotte Vologne (at the top)!

collectives like TG2V in Gerardmer, amounted to challenge the local and regional representatives, but did they really intend to advance the debate?

With the temporary closure of the Maurice Lemaire tunnel, it is not less than 6,500 trucks crossing daily Vosges our necks. For the single pass is Bussang 2300 PL / day, when we know that the convoys of more than 19 T are banned from 22 pm to 6 h, we can almost say that it is 150 trucks per hour on average, as is unbearable especially when Thillot decibels and polluted air make people's lives ... especially painful

The challenge for the coming years will be good to meet the demand for increased mobility while minimizing the impact on the environment! Instead of sustainable development we should talk about development here livable!

> Hunger must justify the means?

That's the question we should ask ourselves, we are not content rich countries to exploit the riches of Africa are starving his people with great blows of biofuels and speculation on grain futures ...

What about an IMF and World Bank that require farmers of Senegal or Cameroon to abandon their lands, ie say to entrust their care to eat large grain Western pretext that they are mechanized and thus more productive. In some cons may swell the shanty towns to work as laborers in Western companies, this means not providing a cheap labor market.

All these states have followed the instructions of the IMF have more crops, are now forced to buy their food at high prices, with rising short grain, a bill which increased 56% in one year, which is unbearable for these states.

The World Food Programme (WFP) feeds each year 70 million people in nearly 80 countries, has claimed $ 500 million extra to compensate for these increases in short. Her claims were too strong, and WFP has received only $ 250 million extension.

$ 500 million, yes that is a sum énOOOrme!
... It is a thousandth of that will cost the subprime crisis on banks, and it few hours of war in Iraq.

For years, African countries were used as control factor for keeping grain prices by allowing producers to sell their stocks. Today there are less and less stock, but this crisis generates huge profits, for example the French cereals have doubled their income on average in 2007 when they recorded intermediaries prodigious profits.

Thirty seven countries are threatened by food crisis, we must do even more to ask the question, we must cultivate fallow land, inflate the stock to break the bubble, and especially the means to restore his country to resume their subsistence farming.

> Human Rights: assessment of a year in the Sarkozy era

In its annual report, the League of Human Rights denounced the worsening human rights abuses and civil liberties in France. What is the outcome of the first year in office Nicolas Sarkozy in terms of human rights? Why does it evokes the stifling of democracy?

BREAKING

The report suggests a "break presidentialism" no democratic institution has withstood the turmoil of Nicolas Sarkozy. The government is more collegial manner. We see ministers who appear then disappear. They are scolded or praised. The only real governing is ultimately the President himself and, besides, he pays the price since having all concentrated in his hands, he also focused criticism against his person. The parliament vote

reforms as we said when we told him, even if it does not fail to raise discontent increasingly widespread within the majority itself, even within government itself (episode of the passage of the law on GMOs, for example).

In terms of justice, the Justice Minister has said herself that they were not judges there to enforce the law but to enforce the will of 53% of French people who have elected Nicolas Sarkozy to renew the authority. We see how the separation of powers and the very meaning of our institutions are threatened. Confused because the French people with a majority of presidential transition, passing the will of one man for the law is very disturbing.

There was also runs compared to secularism on which, in essence, the personal convictions of the president replace the republican tradition. There is a breakdown of institutions and values. From this point of view, the fact that Nicolas Sarkozy wants you to rewrite the preamble to the Constitution, which contains the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, does nothing to reassure us ...

From the perspective of social law, we find that, over the penal state increases, the welfare state is shrinking. There are two times more inmates than thirty years ago in France. The law on recidivism and those on preventive detention will not fix anything, let alone undocumented aliens. We tend, as Nicolas Sarkozy aspires to the American model with hyper-repressive laws and a profound questioning of our social model.

Seven years ago, there was parliamentary reports on the alarming situation in French prisons. People were scared, including the RPR who spoke of "embarrassment to the Republic." What has been done since then? We now have 63,000 inmates to 50,000 seats. All foreign observers who visited our prisons reported that they were making machines delinquency. And the response of our president is that we'll go from 60,000 to 80,000 inmates ...

We want to punish without ever addressing the root causes of the problem: education and lack of social ties. Only these themes there do not pay electorally because it takes time and costs money. Conversely, do any punitive costs nothing and it can recover far-right voters. The security discourse does not produce security. It produces insecurity that can pick up electoral dividends. The purpose of security policies is not to increase security, but to find the conditions for the recovery of the electorate of the extreme right ...

BALANCE INTERNATIONAL

We really a contradictory situation. Nicolas Sarkozy had been very hard on Jacques Chirac during his campaign. He explained to us, including his predecessor Vladimir Putin had set before him and that would be brave to face the despot. He also gave a great speech to the ambassadors in September, explaining that human rights would be central to the foreign policy of France. Result: not happy to have met with President Putin, he was the only leader of the largest democracies in the parliamentary elections said that Russia had fully unfolded. Do not even mention the welcome Colonel Gaddafi when he came to Paris or the extension of French Africa policy.

And then there was recently this incredible speech in Tunis, where Nicolas Sarkozy has finally recommended to President Ben Ali to continue to torture and imprison political dissidents because it suits everyone. Nicolas Sarkozy is not even at the level of George Bush who has received, as Angela Merkel, Dalai Lama. Our head of state is the opposite of what he had said during the presidential campaign.

We do not make the naïve, but there are limits on indecency. China is a big market indeed. But Tunisia? If we can not even tell a country like Tunisia that he must respect human rights, one may ask we'll say ...

Atlanticist policy of Nicolas Sarkozy, the rapprochement with the U.S. President, this fascination with the world across the Atlantic, however mark a real break with the policies of his predecessor. A break with the Gaullist simply.

THE ROLE AND PLACE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE AUTHORITY ON HUMAN RIGHTS;

Mrs Yade is playing politics for twenty years. But it is increasingly clear that his role is that of family photo during the presentation of the government. It represents, with others, diversity. This in itself is also a very good thing. But seeing
facts: sometimes forgets Nicolas Sarkozy at the airport before leaving (in China), sometimes she accompanies him to Tunis but was not allowed to speak (July 2007).

There is also this statement at the reception of Colonel Gadhafi had explained that he or she should not receive the December 10, day of human rights, but on the 11th. As if to shake hands with dictators was less severe the aftermath of a symbolic commemoration rather than on the day. All this is just pathetic ...

The actress is not fooling anyone. Mrs Yade is a screen media. Unfortunately it no longer meets its Office because everyone sees through.
