weapons seized

More than 750 kilos of cannabis and some weapons were seized Tuesday in the Loire, where 73 people were taken into custody in order under the dismantling of a large drug trafficking, prosecutors announced by the Republic of Saint-Etienne and Montbrison.

Almost all the detainees were kept in custody to view Tuesday evening, affirmed the two judges during a press conference at the station in Saint-Etienne.


Starting from 06H00, about 400 police officers and gendarmes have carried out the arrests in a group of buildings of a city in the region peaceful and Saint Etienne in the Plaine du Forez, with the participation of regional intervention group (GIR) from Lyon .

The 750 kilos of cannabis from Morocco and estimated at EUR 1.2 million, were found on board a Mercedes, hidden in a garage Unieux (Loire), at Saint-Etienne. She was destined for the department.

Several weapons - Kalashnikovs, guns pump, large-calibre pistols and five grenades -, as well as about 70,000 euros in cash were also seized.

Two others were arrested at their homes in the Seine-Saint-Denis where they were placed in custody in sight. They were to be transferred Wednesday in Saint-Etienne.

"The arrests made in the Paris region we suggest that the ramifications of this hidden economy far exceeded the framework of the Loire," said Didier Perroudon, departmental director of public security of the Loire.

"The history of a part of the traffickers arrested in the area of Saint Etienne led us to make use of units of GIPN (Intervention Unit of the National Police)," said for his part the prosecutor of Saint-Etienne, Jacques Pin.

Since it is drug trafficking, police custody may last until Friday, said a judge stressing that the initial presentations to judges of Saint-Etienne and Montbrison would take place from Wednesday afternoon .

meeting

To his great campaign meeting, the Mayor of Marseille UMP has mainly discussed before 5000 spectators, local issues and his duel with the PS candidate, Jean-Noël Guérini, ahead in the polls.

"... Guérini too." On the air from the famous song Félicie, Fernandel, Jean-Claude Gaudin has chosen to play the "local color", in every sense, this evening in Marseilles, for his great campaign meeting.

UMP mayor of the city since 1995, the incumbent was ahead in the latest poll (TNS-Sofres, Wednesday) by two points in voting intentions, 51% vs. 49%, its competitor Socialist, Jean-Noël Guérini.

Do not be his first political show, Jean-Claude Gaudin has chosen to claim advantage of Marseille as a President of the Republic to the popularity mast, and to focus on Guérini salvos.

"It's not the third round of the presidential elections, the elections are to elect the mayor," he recalled before 5,000 people. "The Marseillais should not be mistaken for the election," he added.

The Consistory of Paris Ile-de-France and the Union of Jewish Students of France (UEJF) Wednesday condemned the "anti-Semitic aggression" and homophobic whose victim was a young man of Bagneux.

In a statement, the Consistoire de Paris Ile-de-France and its President Joel Mergui "condemn in the strongest terms the anti-Semitic aggression", accompanied by insults, abuse and beatings.


"Two years just after the trauma of the assassination of Ilan Halimi (ndlr victim of the" gang of barbarians "in Bagneux, who died on February 13, 2006), such a heinous and cowardly act strikes once again whole the Jewish community of Ile-de-France and takes witness to the whole country and the national community. "

The Consistory requires that shed light on the conditions and motives of this dastardly attack and that measures are taken soon by the relevant authorities to punish them as they should be. "

For its part, UEJF said he was "shocked by the attack homophobic and anti-Semitic." It "welcomes the speed with which research has been done to ensure that the perpetrators are arrested.'s Chairman Raphael Haddad judge" worrying that some young people will want to walk in the footsteps of the gang barbarians + + "and" essential to extend prevention programs to deconstruct the patterns and prejudices at the root of these acts. "

On 22 February, the young man aged 19 was allegedly handcuffed and beaten by his attackers, according to a judicial source. With a pen, they would also wrote "dirty Jew" and "dirty gay" on his face, before abuse, especially of a sexual nature.

France will from 1 July 2008 the presidency of the European Union. A strong gesture for the country, meant catching up after the "no" to french 2005 referendum, which had, it will be remembered, sealed the fate of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe (TECE). The French presidency of the EU promises already ambitious - perhaps unrealistic, the figure of 600 events have been restless for example ...-, and should mark the return of France in Europe ", according to the Sarkozy words of the President.

La France "exasperating" as they say in Brussels, and the speedy ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon, due as significant, is not likely to make a difference. The challenge lies elsewhere. The projectors are in fact already turned to the next French presidency of the European Union, to the detriment of the Slovenian presidency also present.

The French presidency will be marked by major international (elections in the United States and Russia, Olympics in Beijing, EU-China summit ...). As for institutional, France will be responsible for laying the groundwork for the entry into force of amending, scheduled for 1 January 2009, if the ratification process takes place without incident. The choice of the President of the European Council, appointed for a period of two and a half years will be decisive, and the French presidency will surely have a role of influence to play. An agenda, therefore, to say the least responsible, we will agree ...

The project french or unwilling to strike hard

France has unveiled, there are few, its priorities, guided by a desire to make his presidency, a presidency citizen, protective, close to the Europeans. First immigration, which will be an important topic in the French presidency. It is to set up a cooperation with the countries of the South in order to find a collective response. Secondly, the continuation of the fight against global warming, in the momentum of the environment Grenelle and previous EU presidencies. Then, energy and, more specifically, the security of energy supplies. The spectre of a Russia ready to cut the floodgates "are always present. Finally, the French presidency will try to revive European defence, a topic which is expensive, but will certainly find it hard to attract a broad consensus.

In addition to its priorities, the CAP reform, economic policy of the ECB and the draft EU Mediterranean may also be "hot files" on the agenda of the French presidency. The return of France in Europe is to be reduced by its ability to stimulate a revival needed for the EU, by mobilizing all its European partners. The french project is clearly ambitious and will have to fit into a long-term perspective, if he wants to have any legitimacy.

Perspectives

It should be noted that a presidency lasts only six months alone can not revive the Community mechanism, slow to move in line with the "small steps". With regard to France and Europe, the rupture appeared significantly since 2005, as never ceases to recall Valery Giscard d'Estaing. For a return to France in Europe, should we not also a return to Europe in France? As such, the launch of the web site to inform citizens on European policies, Euractiv.fr, is put forward. The European consciousness appears at this stage of European integration, so necessary to relaunch the EU. There is no cohesive Europe without Europeans!

Finally, take note of what advised by the Secretary of State for European Affairs, Jean-Pierre Jouyet, about his vision of European leadership that awaits France. "A good presidency of the European Union is a presidency that has been serving the general European interest. If you want to defend the national interest as part of this presidency, you are going against the results. It's clear! ". In this case, is it not clear that Mr. Sarkozy has to worry?

oil prices

The Iranian Minister of Petroleum, Gholam Hossein Nozari, said that the advisory committee will recommend to the Organization's 13 member countries of the cartel removing the production ceiling, currently 29670 million bpd, reported AFP. When asked whether the consultative committee of OPEC (ministerial monitoring sub-committee, MMSC) would recommend a status quo on the production of the cartel Wednesday, the most widely anticipated, Mr. Nozari said it appears that yes. Member countries of OPEC meeting this Wednesday, March 5 in Vienna have agreed to leave their production unchanged. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which provides 40% of the world's oil states that the soaring price of oil to more than 100 dollars a barrel is due to factors that it can not control, including the weakness of the dollar and speculation, and not the inadequacy of its pumping. It foresees a decline for the second half of 2008 with the decline in applications. The price per barrel fell Tuesday to below $ 100 on markets in London and New York.

The french president Nicolas Sarkozy received Tuesday evening in Paris the son of the opposing Chad Ibni Oumar Saleh, unaccounted for since the collapse of the rebel offensive in early February, in N'Djamena.

In a statement, the spokesman for the Elysée, David Martinon, said that discussions with Hicham Oumar Saleh had focused on the international commission of inquiry that the Chadian President Idriss Déby has agreed to establish, at the request of Paris, on disappearances and arrests of opponents.

The french president reiterated on this occasion his wish that the committee "should attach greater importance to the international community," reads a passage in this release.

Saleh, leader of a coalition of opposition parties, and the deputy "southerner" Ngarlejy Yorongar have disappeared since the rebel raid in early February, according to their families and their lawyers, they were arrested on Feb. 3 in their homes by the government army, which the authorities deny.

Yorongar has since resurfaced in Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, where he started to apply for asylum with European countries.

A third opponent, the former president Lol Mahamat Choua, also stopped at the battle of N'Djamena, was placed under house arrest.

On 27 February, during a brief stopover in N'Djamena on their way to South Africa, Sarkozy had inquired about the fate of the missing or arrested opponents and had obtained his Chadian counterpart agreed to the establishment of an international commission of inquiry on the subject.

Nvité RTL on Wednesday, Xavier Bertrand came out in favour of new legislation on the certification of accounts of employers and employee organisations to prevent any new excesses after the case of the UIMM.

On 19 December last year, President Nicolas Sarkozy announced the vote in 2008 of a law regulating the issuance and certification of accounts of the organizations' trade unions and employers.

The law, which should be adopted this year, aims "it can never seen this kind of abuse, there is more outflow of capital without one knows exactly how it came out and where it happened, there is a complete traceability, "the minister continued.

Asked about what the President of the CFE-CGC, Bernard Van Craeynest, which has raised funds of parliamentarians by the UIMM, Bertrand argued that "if anyone has any information, he shall inform justice. "

With regard to severance pay of 1.5 million euros for Gautier-Sauvagnac, Bertrand welcomed its review by the UIMM, inviting them to "take account of the context and emotion ".

"Today in our country, when there are difficulties salary, nobody can understand that someone touches, starting, 1.5 million euros," he added.

China: the face of social challenges, Wen Jiabao promised more justice and efficiency

A good deal of support for Dominique Perben. This is a prime minister at the top of its popularity with 66% of votes, (according to a survey Ifop-Paris-Match to be published tomorrow), which came yesterday "encourage" the UMP candidate for mayor of Lyon, in a bad way in the polls. But Francois Fillon has sought to mobilize the electorate right, a part of which is about to vote for Gerard Collomb (PS). "All candidates for municipal does not apply. The lists of left greatly increase taxes. This is not the commitment lists of the presidential majority, "assured the prime minister in a brewery in Place Bellecour (2e).

Previously, Francois Fillon had surveyed the streets of the Republic alongside Dominique Perben. Surrounded by a hundred journalists, he managed to shake a few hands ... Activists on the right. "We were asked to come and applaud, but without our jackets campaign for not doing too reunion activists," says a candidate lists Perben. "Fillon, Fillon! "S'époumone a lady. "Fillon, yes, Perben, no," she says. Francois Fillon was applauded when he comes out of a cake Bouillet 2nd, symbolic step planned by the campaign team. During the presidential campaign, Nicolas Sarkozy had to abandon her to visit the king of the patch because of a demonstration. "Fillon has retaliated," says activist.

The effect has proved disastrous: rising prices flies at 2.8% over the year. Health spending increased by 50 euros, with the new medical deductibles. But pensions, as solidarity allowance for the elderly (ASPA), the former minimum old-age pension, have been identified only 1.1% on 1 January.


BENCHMARKS

NUMBER.
In 1960, there were 2.3 million pensioners in France (basic scheme, metropolitan area), for a demographic report (contributors / retired) of 3.98. In 1975, these figures are respectively 4.1 and 3.15 million in 1987 to 6.4 million and 1.99. In 2006, France had 11.1 million retirees in general and the population is 1.51.

MINIMA.
The minimum contributory, corresponding to the threshold paid to a pensioner low-paid throughout his career, reached 579.85 euros per month (261.43 euros for the survivor's pension).

ALLOCATION OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE AGED (ASPA).
Payable under the National Solidarity means test, it is 628.10 euros per month for a single person, 1126, 77 euros for a couple. In addition additions for disability (369.99 euros), spouse (50.81 euros), dependent child (88.72 euros) ...

REVERSION.
Enlarged to 55 years at least, the survivor's pension (54% of the deceased spouse's retirement) is subject to a ceiling of (17555 euros per year and 28088 euros for a household).

PROMISE.
At the conference's social February 6, the President announced a 25% increase in the allocation of solidarity by 2012, with an advance "to assert" of 200 euros in 2008. The reversion pensions are projected to rise from 54% to 60%.

[-] Close
This erosion has been even more keenly felt among the elderly which affect only small pensions. Thursday, March 6, in Paris, an event also attended associations and unions to retirees of all trade union confederations (CGT, CFDT, FO, CFTC, UNSA, FSU ...)

An automatic adjustment insufficient. Since the Act of 2003 pension reform, the annual pension is aligned with inflation. But for these increases occur from 1 January, the increase was calculated using an automatic mechanism for evaluating prices of the past year and estimates of the next year. In 2007, the rise in pensions had risen to 1.8% for a real inflation of 1.3%. The difference of 0.5% was subtracted 1.6% of estimated by the government for 2008, or 1.1% granted on 1 January.

The minister of social relations and solidarity, Xavier Bertrand, has promised an adjustment, without waiting on 1 January 2009. He referred to maturity by the summer, with the revision of the 2003 Act.

Some disparities. The average income of 13.5 million pensioners amounted to Euro 1512, including the share of schemes. But 17% of them receive a basic pension of less than 600 euros ... The difference is considerable between men (1636 euros on average) and women (1020 euros). The gap has widened since the 2003 reform has increased the length of contributions to forty years to qualify for a full pension. Consequence? Women who have not had a career still represent 75% of the beneficiaries of the "minimum contributory," the lowest level (the equivalent of smic for retirees) with 579.85 euros - without supplementation.

The number of retirees increases to a minimum contributory constantly - 240000 in 1984, 3.7 million in 2005 - even though a quarter of them, "polypensionnés" sign to other plans. The proportion is as important among agricultural workers, seasonal and immigrant workers. The artisans, merchants, as farmers and their spouses, operators or employees are also affected by the low rate of supplementary pension benefits.

The 2003 law provides that the minimum contributory reaches 85% of net smic. With 83.5%, that goal would be nearly reached after revaluations of 2004, 2006 and 2008.

The minimum age: a safety net. Transformed into solidarity allowance for the elderly (ASPA) since 2007, provided to reside in the territory, the minimum age is a safety net, such as the RMI, allocated according to resources for people aged 65 and older. More than 60% of 609000 recipients are single women with a mean age of 76.3 years.

The amount of the ASPA (628.10 euros monthly) is below the poverty line. But it exceeds the maximum resources for supplemental health of universal health cover (CMU). The government has planned to increase the allowance by 25% in five years. An advance payment of 200 euros should be paid from 2008. The total cost of the measure, estimated at 2.45 billion euros, must be supported by the solidarity fund pension, funded primarily by the CSG. The unions fear that the revaluation would create too much distortion with the minimum contributory of retired employees.

The survivors' benefits. Nearly 4 million people, including 90% of women, a survivor's pension after the death of their spouses. Half receives an average of 480 euros per month. The rate of pensions is expected to increase from 54% to 60% of salary by 2012. But the National Council of retired and elderly people expressed concern about the impact of these revaluations on "small pensions threatened by the decline of their purchasing power

spokesman of the Socialist Party,

The spokesman of the Socialist Party, Julien Dray welcomed Wednesday the "gesture" of President Nicolas Sarkozy who was "ready to go to the border" between Colombia and Venezuela in for the release of Ingrid Betancourt.

"That is the proper Sarkozy is the one who has the power to sell, and puts it in the service of a just cause," said Dr. Dray on RMC and BFM-TV. "From this point of view, we should welcome the gesture. If he can secure the release of Ingrid Betancourt, if his trip was useful and if it takes the risk for this, I am not one of those who benefit Ball red all the time on Nicolas Sarkozy, on anything and everything, "he added. According to Mr. Dray, "there is not a genuine commitment" by the Colombian government "to obtain the release of hostages."

"The belly dance around the Modem Bertrand Delanoe (PS), who has been involved for several weeks, concludes with the announcement of a probable political alliance from the second round," says Bild in a statement Wednesday. Therefore, he said, "the campaign to port + + Francoise de Panafieu to persuade voters of Madame de Sarnez (MoDem), is inappropriate and unhelpful".
