Interview by David Reinharc
Jacques Attali was for nearly twenty years - then in opposition to the Elysee - the principal adviser to Francois Mitterrand.
In a book just released by Fayard, "Mitterrand was " book here and there for the first time its ruling on the man and his action.
was an opportunity for us to ask him some questions not necessarily always very politically correct but who at least have the merit of banning any collaboration with ecologists who cycle connected to Paris in their cushy rebellion by proxy through the "youth" - mean: blacks and Muslims-barbarians of the suburbs. Jacques Attali
did not show. Maintenance.
Reinharc David: What role did you play with Francois Mitterrand in international conferences dealing with the issue of Arab-Israeli conflict?
Jacques Attali: In the time I was at the Elysee Palace, there was no international conferences. They started much later, ie from 1993-1994, when I was over at the Elysee.
So, I played no role.
DR: I rephrase my question: have you had an influence on François Mitterrand in the management of Arab-Israeli conflict?
JA: I tell you there was no international conferences.
My answer is clear.
DR: Speaking of events in the suburbs, it was you he was surprised that at least transferred to a secular country extinguishing the fire of religious bodies?
JA: I do not see why you say that it has transferred to religious bodies.
How?
DR: For example, the CFCM (French Council of Muslim Faith) or UOIF (Union of Islamic Organizations) have come to call "youth" quiet ...
JA: This is normal. The Jewish community would take part if the violence had been triggered by some Jewish thugs. This does not mean that there has been a transfer of skills. Competence still belongs to the Republic.
DR: What is your assessment of this outbreak of violence?
JA: I shoot like that every record is an issue of social integration and employment. And until such time as we will not overlooked minority communities in the same effort we did to others, the risk of violence is high.
DR: Were you surprised to see the big Israeli newspapers like Haaretz and Yediot Aharonot headline: "The French Intifada began?
JA: It has nothing to do. It's absurd, of course.
DR: Without doubt this is absurd. But how is it that children of migratory waves, however, more recent - taking Asia, for example - are not released burning cars?
JA: Well, I hope it will not come. But if we make efforts to integrate equivalents for them than for people from North Africa, we will have equivalent problems.
is a problem of integration effort, not a problem of ethnicity.
DR: It may seem that Nicolas Sarkozy, including affirmative action, has laid the profits and losses the idea of nation as a collective project, around a common adventure heritage, language and territory.
In Judaism, the Messiah if we leave confident in the future, is that Tradition still connects every Jew in the past.
The referendum of 29 May (note: the "no" in Europe) do not appear there as a wakeup call: the nation must not be abandoned?
JA: You're absolutely right but I do not think Sarkozy abandoned the nation.
I think affirmative action is extraordinarily dangerous.
It is already in action with the parity law is positive discrimination for women
I for one am in favor of a temporary positive discrimination, temporary, lasting a decade, so as to accelerate the process.
But he must avoid institutionalizing because that would, in effect, create one system to the UK, which is very dangerous.
DR: What is your opinion on the desire to develop the 1905 law?
JA: The 1905 law, in my opinion, should not be developed in the sense that it is inappropriate to create the conditions for Muslims to have what others do not.
But we must create the conditions for the appearance in society Muslim bourgeoisie who, like the bourgeois Jewish or Protestant or Catholic, was able to fund places of worship.
DR: You contribute less to the Internet development in particular since you founded the NGO PlaNet Finance.
What do you think the Internet can be changed international relations and do not you find it ironic that the anti-globalization there have found their promised land?
JA: In the alternative world, there are two things: the anti-globalization and anti-globalists.
The anti-globalists have no interest in what brings people together. Now the Internet is a technology that brings men to very low blow or transfer information.
So it is a tool that can serve as anti globalist to the extent they want an alternative globalization.
From this point of view, welcome to the Democratic debate for another globalization.
