The French crisis “is a singular precipitate, an unprecedented alloy, between identity questions and social commotions”, declared Wednesday the president LR of the Senate Gérard Larcher.

Mr. Larcher, who was speaking at the opening of a symposium on the theme “European democracy in the face of crises, what role for Parliament”, praised the Senate’s mission to also be “a stabilizing pendulum for the institutions “.

“In times of crisis, he is always wary of impulse laws, when a bill is announced on Wednesday for events that took place on Sunday,” he said, while the government announced on Wednesday “ reflect” on a new anti-breaker law, in the wake of the violence during recent demonstrations.

The President of the Senate sees in the current French crisis a crisis “of governance, without a doubt, and crisis of authority”, “that of an authority which wanted to be Jupiterian and vertical”. “Crisis of the ability to convince, by a word of truth and not announcement effects or elements of language repeated until emptiness…”, he continued.

“Crisis between the forgotten France and the France of all opportunities, therefore a crisis of national cohesion, when brutal words divide, when integration is abandoned to communitarianisms”, listed Gérard Larcher again.

For the President of the Senate, the crisis is “above all the crisis of a power, of the power in place, which must find a political solution”.

“Beyond a string of technical measures, of which it is difficult to distinguish the common thread, what perspective for ending the crisis has been defined? This major question still remains unanswered today,” he said. he scolded.
